Square Coil, Round Hole and mutual inductance

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic flux through a square coil placed inside a solenoid. The solenoid has a length of 20.0 cm, 149 turns of wire, and carries a current of 3.29 A. The key equations involved are the induced electromotive force (emf) equation, Є=-(ΔNΔΦ/Δt), and the magnetic flux equation, Φ=BAcosΘ. The primary challenge identified is the need to determine the magnetic field strength (B) within the solenoid to proceed with the calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mutual inductance concepts
  • Familiarity with solenoid magnetic field calculations

Homework Statement


A square, single-turn wire coil L = 1.13 cm on a side is placed inside a solenoid that has a circular cross section of radius r = 2.77 cm, as shown in the figure below.

Basically a big circle with a square in the center.

The solenoid is 20.0 cm long and wound with 149 turns of wire. If the current in the solenoid is 3.29 A, find the flux through the coil.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I was thinking that this was a problem dealing with mutual inductance, but there isn't an equation that will give me the variable I need.
Є=-(ΔNΔΦ/Δt)
I don't know the induced emf (Є), and there isn't any change in time (Δt)
The equation for finding the flux doesn't help either:
Φ=BAcosΘ
I don't know the strength of the magnetic field (B). I really don't know what else to add. I've searched my book and pondered over every equation trying to find some way to solve this. I hope I don't piss anyone off due to lack of information, but this is my first time on this forum.

Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There's your problem. You should know how to find the field inside a solenoid. :wink:

Ahhh, I should have known that. Thank you very much.
