Part A How much energy is stored in a 290cmdiameter 140cmlon
Part A How much energy is stored in a 2.90-cm-diameter, 14.0-cm-long solenoid that has 200 turns of wire and carries a current of 0.760 A ?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Please show all steps and work clearly, thank you. :)
Solution
The solenoid is an inductor therefore:
Energy stored in inductor field, E = ½*L*i² (L=solenoid self inductance in H, i=current in A)
L for solenoid .. L = .A.n² / l .. (A= coil area, n=No.of turns, l=length)
combining equations.
E = ½..A.n² i² / l ..
E = ½(4^-7)([1.45*10^-2]²)(200²)(0.76²) / (0.14) .. (distances converted to metres)
E= 0.0000684 = 6.84*10^-5 J
