A magnetic field of 0.276 T exists in the region enclosed by a solenoid that has 517 turns and a diameter of 10.5 cm. Within what period of time must the field be reduced to zero if the average magnitude of the induced emf within the coil during this time interval is to be 12.6 kV

The period the field must be reduced to zero is 9.81 x 10⁻⁵ s

Explanation:

Given;

initial value of the magnetic field, B₁ = 0.276 T

number of turns of the solenoid, N = 517 turns

diameter of the solenoid, d = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m

induced emf, = 12.6 kV = 12,600 V

when the field becomes zero, then the final magnetic field value, B₂ = 0

The induced emf is given by Faraday's law;

Therefore, the period the field must be reduced to zero is 9.81 x 10⁻⁵ s
