Problem 3.309

A long straight solenoid of cross-sectional diameter \(d=\) \(=5 \mathrm{~cm}\) and with \(n=20\) turns per one \(\mathrm{cm}\) of its length has a round turn of copper wire of cross-sectional area \(S=1.0 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) 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 \(\dot{I}\) \(=100 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s} .\) The inductance of the turn is to be neglected.

Reveal Answer
I=1/4μ0nSdI˙/ρ=2 mA, where ρ is the resistivity of copperI=1 / 4 \mu_{0} n S d \dot{I} / \rho=2 \mathrm{~mA}, \text { where } \rho \text { is the resistivity of copper}
