What is the best way to make a solenoid and why?
Q. I have a question in my homework that asks: You are given a certain volume of copper from which you can make copper wires. The wires are then used to produce a tightly wound solenoid of max M-field at the center. a) Should you make the wires long and thin or short and thick? b) Should you make the solenoid radius small or large? Explain What is the explanation for this? I know that B = MoI(N)/L for a solenoid.

A. (a) longer wire is better, since that will give you more turns & hence higher magnetic field (b) radius smaller is better - gives more concentration of the field in a smaller area

What minimum number of turns per unit length must the solenoid have?
Q. A solenoid is designed to produce a magnetic field of 3.00 10 2 T at its center. It has a radius of 2.00 cm and a length of 37.0 cm, and the wire can carry a maximum current of 10.0 A A)What minimum number of turns per unit length must the solenoid have? B)What total length of wire is required?
Asked by Natiphy2007 - Sat Mar 29 00:31:43 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Draw a rectangular amperian loop the length of the solenoid where one edge lies on the axis of the solenoid - so you can use Ampere's Law. integral (B) ds = N*(mu)*I because B is known and s is simply the length of the loop (length of the solenoid), you get: BL = N*mu*I (3.00 10 2 T)(.37 m) = N * (4 10 7)(10 A) N = 883.31 turns / m So because the solenoid is .37 meters long, that means it needs to have 326.825 turns. If the radius of each turn is .02 cm, the circumference of each will be 2 r, or .12566 m. Multiply that by the 326.825 turns you need and your answer is roughly 41.07 meters of wire.

Is the number of turns of coil in a solenoid important in determing the magnitude of B?
Q. Is this statement True or false? When determining the magnitude of B inside a solenoid of a given length, the number of turns of coil is not important, as long as they're reasonably spaced.
Asked by rjtweety2001 - Sat Mar 7 13:14:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. What is important is the number of turns per unit length and not the total number of turns. This is somewhat of an idealization since it assumes the coil is sufficiently long to create a uniform magnetic field inside (ie, no fringing effects) and the coils are reasonably close together.

What is a Duty Cycle and how does it effect the operation of a linear solenoid?
Q. I am thinking about using a small linear solenoid to operate the choke on my car. The supplier has two types of linear solenoids, continuous duty and intermittent duty. The intermittent duty has a 25% duty cycle. What does this mean and how does it effect the opperation of the solenoid?
Asked by rkcobrra - Sat Mar 24 03:33:02 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Duty cycle is the length of time it can be operated over a given period. 6 min every hour would be a 10% duty cycle. It may also be the longest period it can operate constantly, as in a 10 minute duty cycle. If you want to operate a choke you want a continuous duty.
