A long solenoid has 70 turns cm-1 and carries current I. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle of radius 2.5 cm perpendicular to the solenoid axis. If the speed of the electron is 4.4×106 m s-1 then the current I in the solenoid is
(Take μ0=4π×10-7SI unit, mass of electron =9×10-31 kg, charge of electron =1.6×10-19C)

  1. A 98.5 mA
  2. B 112.5 mA
  3. C 125 mA
  4. D 175.0 mA
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 112.5 mA

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: n=70 turns cm-1=7000 turns m-1 and r=2.5 cm=0.025 m Now centripetal force will be provided by the magnetic force acting on the charge. Therefore, mv2r=qBv and we also know that for long solenoid, B=μ0nI. So,…
