    A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm2 placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to 4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?
    Ans : Number of turns on the solenoid = 15 turns/cm = 1500 turns/m

    Number of turns per unit length, n = 1500 turns

    The solenoid has a small loop of area, A = 2.0 cm2 = 2 × 10-4 m2

    Current carried by the solenoid changes from 2 A to 4 A.

    Change in current in the solenoid, di = 4 - 2 = 2 A

    Change in time, dt = 0.1 s

    Induced emf in the solenoid is given by Faraday’s law as:



    Where,

    = Induced flux through the small loop

    = BA ... (ii)

    B = Magnetic field

    =

    μ0 = Permeability of free space

    = 4``\pi``×10-7 H/m

    Hence, equation (i) reduces to:



    Hence, the induced voltage in the loop is
