How Is Magnetic Flux Calculated Through a Square Loop Inside a Solenoid?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic flux through a square loop inside a solenoid, the magnetic field is determined using the formula B = 4π * 10^-7 * (number of loops per meter) * current. For a solenoid with 1280 turns per meter and a current of 2.15 A, the magnetic field is calculated to be 0.003458 T. The magnetic flux is then computed using the area of the loop, resulting in a value of 1.18 x 10^-5 Wb. Clarifications arise regarding the use of the length in calculations, as it should reflect the number of turns per meter specified in the problem. Accurate calculations are essential for determining the correct magnetic flux.

Homework Statement


A single-turn square loop of side L is centered on the axis of a long solenoid. In addition, the plane of the square loop is perpendicular to the axis of the solenoid. The solenoid has 1280 turns per meter and a diameter of 5.85 cm , and carries a current of 2.15 A .

Find the magnetic flux through the loop when L= 5.85 cm .

Homework Equations


Magnetic Field = 4pi *10^-7 * (Num loops/ length) * current
Magnetic Flux = Magnetic Field * Area * cos(theta)

The Attempt at a Solution


Magnetic Field = 4pi *10^-7 * (1280 loops/ 1.00m) * 2.15A = 0.003458T
Magnetic Flux = B * area = 0.003458 * 0.0585 * 0.0585 = 1.18x10-5

The answer is wrong, I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Why are you put the length as ## 1.00m##?

Because the question says 1280 turns per meter

Here the area is maybe the area of solenoid, isn't it?
 
You are right! Thanks
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
