STANDARD Physics Magnetic Field in Solenoids MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A solenoid of length 50 cm, having 100 turns carries a current of 2.5 A. The magnetic field at one end of the solenoid is

A

3.14 × 10⁻⁴ T

B

6.28 × 10⁻⁴ T

C

1.57 × 10⁻⁴ T

D

9.42 × 10⁻⁴ T

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The number of turns per meter n = 100/0.5 = 200 turns/m. Using the formula B = μ₀nI/2 for the field at the end of a solenoid, we get B = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 200 × 2.5)/2 = 3.14 × 10⁻⁴ T.
