Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2005 2005Moderate

A Solenid is formed by winding:

Correct answer: B. Wire in a helix around a cylindrical surface

  • A. Wire in a helix around a box
  • B. Wire in a helix around a cylindrical surface
  • C. Wire in a helix on a plain surface
  • D. Cannot be made using wire

Explanation

A solenoid is an instrument that consists of copper coiling over a cylinder designed to create a strong magnetic field inside the coil because of the flow of current through the coil. By wrapping the same wire many times around a cylinder, the magnetic field due to the flow of current can become quite strong.

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
