There is magnetic material of coercivity 2 x 10^3 A/m. What current should flow through the solenoid of length 15 cm having 150 turns to demagnetize the substance completely?

Correct answer: C. 2 A

  • A. 4 A
  • B. 2.5 A
  • C. 2 A
  • D. 3.5 A

Explanation

H = 2 × 10³, for solenoid H = n In = 150 / (15 × 10⁻²) = 1000⇒ I = H / n = (2 × 10³) / 10³ = 2 A.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
