Consider a solenoid that is 15 cm long and 3 cm in diameter, with N = 500 turns. What value of current is required to give a field of magnitude B = 1.0 T? A Would this value be practical? Why or why not? (Assume the solenoid, made of 26 AWG copper wire melts at around 20 A.) The current is not high enough to melt the wire, making finding practical uses possible. The current is very high and would likely melt the wire, making this setup impractical.
