Answer:
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;
[tex]emf = -\frac{NA\Delta B}{t} \\\\emf = -\frac{NA (B_2 -B_1)}{t} \\\\t = -\frac{NA (B_2 -B_1)}{emf}\\\\t = \frac{NA (B_1 -B_2)}{emf}\\\\where;\\\\t \ is \ the \ time \ when \ B = 0 \ \ (i.e\ B_2 = 0)\\\\A \ is \ the \ area \ of \ the \ coil\\\\A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.105)^2}{4} = 0.00866 \ m^2\\\\t= \frac{(517) \times (0.00866)\times (0.276 -0)}{12,600}\\\\t = 9.81 \times 10^{-5} \ s[/tex]
Therefore, the period the field must be reduced to zero is 9.81 x 10⁻⁵ s
