Which of the following statements is incorrect for a current-carrying solenoid?

  • A
    Its pattern of field lines is just like the pattern of field lines of a bar magnet.
  • B
    It is used to produce a uniform magnetic field.
  • C
    Its magnetic field does not depend on the radius of the cross-section of the frame.
  • D
    When it is freely suspended,it always stays perpendicular to the magnetic meridian.

The magnetic field inside a $200$ turns solenoid of radius $10 \ cm$ is $2.9 \times 10^{-4} \ T$. If the solenoid carries a current of $0.29 \ A$,then the length of the solenoid is . . . . . . $\pi \ cm$.

What is a solenoid? And what is a long solenoid? Explain.

The magnetic field intensity $H$ at the centre of a long solenoid having $n$ turns per unit length and carrying a current $I$,when no material is kept in it is ($\mu_0 =$ permeability of free space).

$A$ long solenoid with $10.0 \text{ turns/cm}$ and a radius of $8 \text{ cm}$ carries a current of $7 \text{ mA}$. $A$ current-carrying straight conductor is located along the central axis of the solenoid. If the direction of the resulting magnetic field is $60^{\circ}$ to the axial direction at a point $5 \text{ cm}$ from the axis of the solenoid along the radial direction, then the current in the conductor is. [Take $\sqrt{2}=1.4, \sqrt{3}=1.7$] (in $\text{ A}$)

Statement-$1$: Ampere's law can be used to find the magnetic field due to a finite length of a straight current-carrying wire.
Statement-$2$: The magnetic field due to a finite length of a straight current-carrying wire is symmetric about the wire.
