$A$ long solenoid produces a magnetic field $B$ on its axis. If it is cut into four equal parts and,for the same current,half the number of turns are wound on any one piece,the value of the magnetic field on its axis becomes:

  • A
    $\frac{B}{4}$
  • B
    $2B$
  • C
    $4B$
  • D
    $\frac{B}{2}$

$A$ closely wound solenoid $120 \ cm$ long has $4$ layers of windings of $400$ turns each. The diameter of the solenoid is $1.8 \ cm$. If the current carried is $8.0 \ A$,estimate the magnitude of $B$ inside the solenoid near its centre.

$A$ coaxial cable consists of an inner wire of radius $a$ surrounded by an outer shell of inner and outer radii $b$ and $c$ respectively. The inner wire carries an electric current $i_o$,which is distributed uniformly across its cross-sectional area. The outer shell carries an equal current in the opposite direction,also distributed uniformly. What will be the ratio of the magnetic field at a distance $x$ from the axis when $(i)$ $x < a$ and $(ii)$ $a < x < b$?
