A long solenoid of radius 2 cm has 100 turns/cm and carries a current of 5 A. A coil of radius 1 cm having 100 turns and a total resistance of 20 Ω is placed inside the solenoid coaxially. The coil is connected to a galvanometer. If the current in the solenoid is reversed in direction, find the charge flown through the galvanometer.
Given:
Radius of solenoid
No. of turns in the solenoid
Current in the solenoid
Radius of second coil
No. of turns in the coil
Resistance of the coil
We know that,
Magnetic field inside solenoid (B) is given by formula
Where,
n=no. of turns per unit length
i=current through solenoid
Magnetic flux(ϕ) through the coil is given by the formula
Where B=magnetic field intensity
A=area of cross section of the coil
θ =angle between area vector and magnetic field
magnetic field inside solenoid is perpendicular to the coil
initially flux through the coil is given by
When the current in the solenoid is reversed in direction of magnetic field gets reversed and flux through the coil now m=becomes
Now,
Average induced emf in time interval Δt is given by
…(i)
Where
are flux across the cross section at time intervals
respectively
Putting these values in eqn.(i) we get
Current (i) through the coil of resistance R can be calculated as
Hence the charge (Q) passing through the coil in time Δt is
Putting the values of μ0, I, N, n π r’ and R in above eqn.
Therefore flowing through the galvanometer is
