Q71 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 2) · Physics
A long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field along its axis. If the current is doubled and the number of turns per is halved, the new value of magnetic field will be equal to
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Magnetic field due to long solenoid along its axis is given as,
, where is the number of turns in the solenoid per unit length, is current in the solenoid and is a constant called the permeability of free space.
According to the question,
; means, the magnetic field remains the same.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
