Question
Obtain the expression for mutual inductance of a pair of long coaxial solenoids each of length l and radii r1 and r2 (r2 >> r1). Total number of turns in the two solenoids are N1 and N2, respectively.
Solution
Suppose a current i is passed through the inner solenoid S1.
A magnetic field B=μ0n1i is produced inside S1 , whereas the field outside it is zero.
The flux through each turn S2 is Bπr12=μ0n1iπr12
The total flux through all the turns in a length l of S2 is
ϕ=(μ0n1iπr12)n2l=(μ0n1n2πr12l)i
⇒M=μ0n1n2πr12l

A tightly-wound solenoid of radius a and length l has n turns per unit length. It carries an electric current i. Consider a length dx of the solenoid at a distance x from one end. This contains n dx turns and may be approximated as a circular current i n dx. (a) Write the magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid due to this circular current. Integrate this expression under proper limits to find the magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid. (b) verify that if l >> a, the field tends to B = µ0ni and if a >> l, the field tends to `B =(mu_0nil)/(2a)` . Interpret these results.
A capacitor of capacitance 100 µF is connected to a battery of 20 volts for a long time and then disconnected from it. It is now connected across a long solenoid having 4000 turns per metre. It is found that the potential difference across the capacitor drops to 90% of its maximum value in 2.0 seconds. Estimate the average magnetic field produced at the centre of the solenoid during this period.
