An experiment is being devised for students to undertake, that specifically includes a task to create an electromagnet by winding conducting wire around a cylindrical object and connecting it to a DC circuit using a battery. The experiment needs a length of wire to create a coil where the diameter of the resultant coil is 1.0 cm with a total of 100 turns. This coil is then placed in the centre of a solenoid constructed with 400 turns and a diameter of 2.5 cm with the current supplied from a battery of 15 A. Answer the following questions: a)[out of 1 mark] What is the magnetic field that the coil is exposed to? b)[out of 2 marks] What is the magnetic flux through the centre of the solenoid? Assume for this scenario the current is steady. c)[out of 2 marks] If the current in the solenoid drops steadily to zero, what is the magnitude of the emf that is induced in the coil? Assume for this question the current takes 30 ms drops to 0 A.
