The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The number of turns per unit length for the given toroid $n=\frac{N}{2\pi r_{av}}$ The average radius of toroid $r_{av}=\frac{28+29}{2}=28.5\,cm$ $=28.5\times10^{-2}\,m$ $\therefore n=\frac{3700}{2\times3.14\times28.5\times10^{-2}}$ $=2067.27 \approx2067$ Now, $B=\mu_{0}nI=4\pi\times10^{-7}\times2067\times10$ $=259615.2\times10^{-7}\, T $ $=2.60\times10^{-2}\, T$

Magnetic Field

The magnetic field is a field created by moving electric charges. It is a force field that exerts a force on materials such as iron when they are placed in its vicinity. Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate; they can even propagate in a vacuum. Magnetic field also referred to as a vector field, describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, magnetic materials, and electric currents.

A magnetic field can be presented in two ways.

  • Magnetic Field Vector: The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force.
  • Magnetic Field Lines: An alternative way to represent the information contained within a vector field is with the use of field lines. Here we dispense with the grid pattern and connect the vectors with smooth lines.

Properties of Magnetic Field Lines

  • Magnetic field lines never cross each other
  • The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the field
  • Magnetic field lines always make closed-loops
  • Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
