Electric field outside a solenoid

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the electric field outside a solenoid with a radius of 2.10 cm and 1180 turns per meter, the current varies over time as I = 1.30t. The discussion highlights the need to consider the induced electric field resulting from the changing magnetic field, as the electric field is not uniform outside the solenoid. Participants emphasize the importance of applying relevant laws and concepts to approach the problem. The forum encourages users to demonstrate their understanding before seeking assistance. Understanding the relationship between the changing current and the induced electric field is crucial for solving this problem.

Homework Statement



A solenoid has a radius of 2.10 cm and 1180 turns per meter. Over a certain time interval the current varies with time according to the expression I = 1.30t, where I is in amperes and t is in seconds. Calculate the electric field 4.65 cm from the axis of the solenoid

I think that should be the Magnetic Field intensity that your looking for.

I believe they are probably asking for the induced electric field caused by the changing magnetic field.

Hello, MelanieB.

I'm afraid the rules here at the forum require you to show some effort at a solution.

Can you think of any laws or concepts that will help solve this problem?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
