AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

A closely wound solenoid of 1200 turns and area of cross-section \(5 \mathrm{~cm}^2\) carries a current. If the magnetic moment of the solenoid is \(1.2 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\), then the current through the solenoid is

  1. A 2.5 A
  2. B 2 A
  3. C 3 A
  4. D 1.5 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = 5 \mathrm{~cm}^2 = 5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\) \(I = \frac{\mu}{NA}\) \(I = \frac{1.2}{1200 \times 5 \times 10^{-4}}\) \(I = 2 \mathrm{~A}\)
