(a) A teaching assistant is preparing for an in-class demonstration, using insulated copper wire and a power supply. She winds a single layer of the wire on a tube with a diameter of dsolenoid = 10.0 cm. The resulting solenoid is ℓ = 65.0 cm long, and the wire has a diameter of dwire = 0.100 cm. Assume the insulation is very thin, and adjacent turns of the wire are in contact. What power (in W) must be delivered to...
