Self inductance of a solonoidal coil

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the self inductance of a solenoidal coil with 2000 turns that generates a magnetic field of 3mT at 1A current, given a cross-sectional area of 2*10^-3 m^-2. Additionally, it addresses the mutual inductance between this solenoid and a smaller coil with 10 turns and a cross-sectional area of 4*10^-5 m^2 placed at its center. Participants express confusion about how to utilize the provided data, particularly regarding the electromotive force (emf) and the relevance of the area in the calculations. The key equations mentioned include emf=-Nd(flux density)/dt and L=flux density/current, with a query about the application of B=U0*NI/L. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on how to approach these inductance calculations effectively.

Homework Statement



A long, solonoidal coil with 2000 turns produces a B field pf 3mT at its center when a current of 1A flows through the coil. If the cross sectional area of the coil is: 2*10^-3 m^-2, and the field is uniform throghout the solonoid, determine the self inductance of the oil.

A small coil, C, is now plaed in the middle of the solonoid as such that the axis of the coils concide. The coil C has 10 turns, and a cross setional area of 4*10^-5m^2. Calculate the mutual inuctance between C and the solenoid.

Homework Equations



emf=-Nd(flux demnsity)/dt

L=flux density/current

The Attempt at a Solution



Dont really have many ideas about this question. I cannot work out how I am going to be able to use the data given as I do not know the emf?
thanks

On a second though to I have to use the formula:

B=U0*NI/L

If I do why am I given the area?

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}...

Thread 'Struggle to understand the concept of the 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...
