Question

1. A long solenoid that has 1,140 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.395 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00  10-4 T at its center. What current is required in the windings for that to occur?

______ mA

2. A wire with a weight per unit length of 0.077 N/m is suspended directly above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 29.8 A and the bottom wire carries a current of 59.2 A. Find the distance of separation between the wires so that the top wire will be held in place by magnetic repulsion.

_______ mm

3. A lightning bolt may carry a current of 1.00  104 A for a short time. What is the resulting magnetic field 170 m from the bolt? Suppose that the bolt extends far above and below the point of observation.

_______  ?T

4. It is desired to construct a solenoid that will have a resistance of 4.80 Ω (at 20°C) and produce a magnetic field of 4.00 ✕ 10−2 T at its center when it carries a current of 4.35 A. The solenoid is to be constructed from copper wire having a diameter of 0.500 mm. If the radius of the solenoid is to be 1.00 cm, determine the following. (The resistivity of copper at 20°C is 1.7 ✕ 10−8 Ω · m.)
