Two solenoids

There are two solenoids X and Y with lengths 20 cm 20\text{ cm} and 40 cm , 40\text{ cm}, respectively. If the current intensities flowing in X and Y are 1 A 1\text{ A} and 2 A , 2\text{ A}, respectively, what is the ratio of the intensities of the magnetic fields induced inside X and Y ?

The number of turns of the two solenoids are the same.

1 : 4 1:4 1 : 2 1:2 1 : 1 1:1 2 : 1 2:1

The magnetic field intensity depends upon the current flowing through the solenoid as well as the number of turns in the coil.

In X X , length is 20 20 cm and current flowing is 1 1 A while, in Y Y , length is 40 40 cm and current flowing is 2 2 A. Moreover, the number of turns in both X X and Y Y are same, i.e., constant here.

Now, if we consider the ratio of current flowing and length in X X and Y Y , we find the ratio to be same, i.e., 2 40 = 1 20 \frac{2}{40}=\frac{1}{20} .

Thus, the electric field strength as well as the magnetic field intensity in both X X and Y Y is the same, so the ratio is 1 : 1 \boxed{1:1}

Hello,

as for solenoid X, as for magnetic field intensity B,let Bx for X, By for Y,

by applying B= unI ,as n = N/L, stated that Nx=Ny=N,

Bx = uN(1) / (20) = uN / 20,

By = uN(2) / (40) = uN /20,

By comparing Bx to By,

Bx / By = uN / 20 / uN /20

Bx / By = uN / 20 x 20 / uN

Bx / By = 1 / 1

Bx : By = 1:1

Thanks...
