Question

Consider a system consisting of two long, concentric solenoids, as shown below in cross section. The current in the outer solenoid is I1 = 1.30 A, while the current in the inner solenoid is I2 = 1.77 A flowing in the opposite direction. The outer solenoid has 105 turns per centimeter, and the inner solenoid has 139 turns per centimeter.

a.Find the magnetic field strength in the region between the two solenoids. Enter your answer as a positive number if the field points up.
b.Find the magnetic field strength inside the inner solenoid. Enter your answer as a positive number if the field points up.

Explanation / Answer

B1 = 4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x n1 x I1 =  4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x 1050 x 1.30 T up

B2= 4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x n1 x I2 = 4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x 1390 x 1.77 T down

Field in the region between two solenoids= B1 = 4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x n1 x I1 =  4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x 10500 x 1.30 T= 17.144 10^(-9) T up

Field inside inner solenoid of them = B1 - B2 =   4 x 3.14 x 10^(-7) x(10500 x 1.30- 13900 x 1.77)= -13.756 x 10^(-9) T down
