The current flowing in a solenoid that is $20.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ long and has a radius of $2.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ and 500 turns decreases from $3.00 \mathrm{~A}$ to $1.00 \mathrm{~A}$ in $0.1 .00 \mathrm{~s} .$ Determine the magnitude of the induced electric field inside the solenoid $1.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ from its center.

Key Concepts

Induced Electric Field

The induced electric field is generated by the changing magnetic flux and can be calculated by considering the line integral of the electric field around a closed loop. In cases with symmetry, such as inside or near a solenoid, the magnitude of the induced electric field can be determined by equating the emf (from the change in flux) to the product of the electric field and the length of the circular path over which it acts. This concept is central to understanding how non-conservative electric fields arise in the context of time-varying magnetic fields.

Changing Magnetic Flux

Magnetic flux is defined as the product of the magnetic field and the area perpendicular to the field. In scenarios where the current—and consequently the magnetic field—in a solenoid changes with time, the magnetic flux through any loop inside the solenoid also changes. The rate of change of this flux (d?/dt) is directly related to the induced emf according to Faraday's law.

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday's law states that a time-varying magnetic flux through a loop induces an electromotive force (emf) in the loop. This is a fundamental principle that connects changing magnetic fields to induced electric fields, and it provides the framework for calculating the induced electric field when the magnetic flux varies over time.

Magnetic Field in a Solenoid

In a solenoid, which is essentially a coil of closely spaced turns, the magnetic field inside is approximately uniform and directed along the axis of the solenoid. It is given by the expression B = ?0*(N/L)*I, where ?0 is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns, L is the length of the solenoid, and I is the current. This relationship is crucial for determining how the magnetic field changes as the current varies.
