- Q1A long solenoid that has 1,030 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.425 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ T at its center. What current is required in the windings for that to occur?32.8 mA43.9 mA14.8 mA54.7 mA300s
- Q2Certain experiments must be performed in the absence of any magnetic fields. Suppose such an experiment is located at the center of a large solenoid so that a current of 1.70 A produces a magnetic field that exactly cancels Earth’s 4.30 x 10⁻⁵ T field.
