The magnetic field produced by a solenoid coil of 1393 turns of superconducting wire in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system has a magnetic field strength of 2.1 T. Suppose the solenoid is 1.4 m long and 5 cm in diameter. How much current is needed?
i = 1679.525 A
Step-by-step explanation
Given that for solenoid:
number of turns N = 1393
magnetic field strength B = 2.1 T
length L = 1.4 m
diameter d = 5 cm
Let the current flowing through the solenoid be i.
Magnetic field strength inside solenoid is given by:
B = uoNi/L
i = BL/(uoN)
i = 2.1×1.4/(4π×10-7×1393)
i = 1679.525 A
