Very large magnetic fields can be produced using a procedure called flux compression. A metallic cylindrical tube

Question:

Very large magnetic fields can be produced using a procedure called flux compression. A metallic cylindrical tube of radius R is placed coaxially in a long solenoid of somewhat larger radius. The space between the tube and the solenoid is filled with a highly explosive material. When the explosive is set off, it collapses the tube to a cylinder of radius r < R. If the collapse happens very rapidly, induced current in the tube maintains the magnetic flux nearly constant inside the tube. If the initial magnetic field in the solenoid is 2.50 T, and R/r = 12.0, what maximum value of magnetic field can be achieved?
