Capitolo 30, Problema 5a

A 2.50-mH toroidal solenoid has an average radius of 6.00 cm and a cross-sectional area of 2.00 cm2. How many coils does it have? (Make the same assumption as in Example 30.3.)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Start by recalling the formula for the inductance of a toroidal solenoid: \( L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{2\pi r} \), where \( L \) is the inductance, \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, \( N \) is the number of turns, \( A \) is the cross-sectional area, and \( r \) is the average radius.
Rearrange the formula to solve for the number of turns \( N \): \( N = \sqrt{\frac{2\pi r L}{\mu_0 A}} \).
Substitute the given values into the equation: \( L = 2.50 \times 10^{-3} \text{ H} \), \( r = 6.00 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m} \), and \( A = 2.00 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2 \).
Use the value of the permeability of free space \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A} \) in the equation.
Calculate \( N \) using the rearranged formula and the substituted values to find the number of coils in the toroidal solenoid.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Inductance of a Solenoid

Inductance is a measure of the ability of a solenoid to store energy in its magnetic field. For a toroidal solenoid, the inductance (L) is determined by the number of turns (N), the cross-sectional area (A), and the average radius (r) of the solenoid. The formula L = (μ₀N²A)/(2πr) relates these parameters, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space.

Toroidal Solenoid

A toroidal solenoid is a coil shaped like a doughnut, with wire wound around a circular path. Unlike a straight solenoid, a toroidal solenoid confines the magnetic field within its core, minimizing external magnetic fields. This design is crucial for applications requiring minimal interference with surrounding components.

Permeability of Free Space

The permeability of free space (μ₀) is a fundamental physical constant that describes how a magnetic field interacts with a vacuum. It is essential in calculating the inductance of solenoids and other electromagnetic devices. Its value is approximately 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A, and it helps determine the strength of the magnetic field generated by a current-carrying coil.
