It is desired to construct a solenoid that will have a
resistance of 4.65 Ω (at 20°C) and produce a magnetic field of 4.00
✕ 10−2 T at its center when it carries a current of 4.55
A. The solenoid is to be constructed from copper wire having a
diameter of 0.500 mm. If the radius of the solenoid is to be 1.00
cm, determine the following. (The resistivity of copper at 20°C is
1.7 ✕ 10−8 Ω · m.)
(a) the number of turns of wire needed to build the solenoid
________turns
(b) the length the solenoid should have
________cm
