Problem 3.309

A long straight solenoid of cross-sectional diameter d=d= =5 cm=5 \mathrm{~cm} and with n=20n=20 turns per one cm\mathrm{cm} of its length has a round turn of copper wire of cross-sectional area S=1.0 mm2S=1.0 \mathrm{~mm}^{2} tightly put on its winding. Find the current flowing in the turn if the current in the solenoid winding is increased with a constant velocity I˙\dot{I} =100 A/s.=100 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s} . The inductance of the turn is to be neglected.
