A solenoid of length 45 cm has 340 turns of radius 2.2 cm. A tightly wound coil with 16 turns of radius 4.4 cm is at the center of the solenoid. The axes of the coil and solenoid coincide. Find the emf induced in the coil if the current in the solenoid varies according to I=4.6sin(50∏t)A.

Answer: __________cos(50∏t) mV

Comments:
I can't seem to find the correct answer for the magnetic field of the solenoid.
The formula I use is:
B=0.5μ0nI(sinθ2-sinθ1)
The area to use for all equations is the area of the solenoid since it is the area of magnetic field lines felt by the coil.
The flux, denoted ∅ is: ∅=BAcosσ and σ=0o, therefore ∅=BA
and the EMF=-N(d∅/dt)=-NA(dB/dt)

I really appreciate any help, thank you!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
B on the axis and at the centre of a 'long' solenoid is given by B = \mu_{o}nI where n = number of turns/length of solenoid.

Assuming the solenoid is long an using that formula, my answer is wrong. Is there anything missing to the comments I added for solving this problem?
 
Can you show the working for dB/dt?
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
