                    A long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field B along its axis. If the current is doubled and the number of rums per cm is halved, the new value of the magnetic field is                                              

    A)                 2B                                          

    B)                 4B                                          

    C)                 B/2                        

    D)                 B

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: According to Ampere's law, the line integral \[\oint{\vec{B}\,.\,d\,\vec{1}}\]. of the resultant magnetic field along a dosed, plane curve is equal to \[{{\mu }_{0}}\] times the total current crossing the area bounded by the closed curve.                 Using Ampere's law,                 \[\oint{\vec{B}\,.\,d\,\vec{1}}\,={{\mu }_{0}}\,({{i}_{net}})...(i)\]                 In our case,                 \[{{i}_{net}}=\] (number of turns inside the area)                 \[\times \] (current through each turn)                 \[=(nl)i\]                 (n = number of turns per unit length)                 Then, Eq, (i) can be written as,                 \[B\ell =({{\mu }_{0}})\,(nli)\]                 or            \[B={{\mu }_{0}}\,ni\]                 or            \[B\,\propto \,\,ni\]                 \[\therefore \frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}=\frac{{{n}_{1}}\,{{i}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}\,{{i}_{2}}}\]                 Here,     \[{{n}_{1}}={{n}_{1}},\,{{n}_{2}}=\frac{n}{2},\,{{i}_{1}}=i,\,{{i}_{2}}=2i,\,{{B}_{1}}=B\]                 Hence, \[\frac{B}{{{B}_{2}}}=\frac{n}{n/2}\times \frac{i}{2i}=1\]                 \[or{{B}_{2}}=B\]
