A long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field B along its axis. If the number of turns per $\mathrm{cm}$ is doubled and the current is made, $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\text {rd }}$ then the new value of the magnetic field will be
  1. $\frac{B}{3}$
  2. $3 \mathrm{~B}$
  3. $2 \mathrm{~B}$
  4. $\frac{2 \mathrm{~B}}{3}$

Solution

Magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by $\mathrm{B}=\mu_0 \mathrm{nI}$ If $\mathrm{n}$ is doubled and $\mathrm{I}$ is made $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\mathrm{rd}}$, the value of $\mathrm{B}$ will become $\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{~B}$
