The coercivity of a small magnet, where the ferromagnet gets demagnetised is 3×103 A/m. The current required to be passed in a solenoid of length 10 cm and number of turns 100, so that the magnet gets demagnetised when inside the solenoid is
  1. 30 mA
  2. 60 mA
  3. 3 A
  4. 6 A

Solution

For solenoid, the magnetic field needed to be magnetised the magnet.

B=μ0nI

where, n=100,l=10 cm=10100 m=0.1 m

3×103=1000.1×I

I=3 A
