The current required to be passed through a solenoid of 15 cm length and 60 turns in order to demagnetise a bar magnet of magnetic intensity 2.4×103 A m1 is ________ A.

Solution

The magnetic intensity is

H=Bμ0-M

For M=0, it can be written

H=Bμ0=ni

The data given is 

H=2.4×103 A m-1l=15×10-2 mN=60

Using the relation, n=Nl and H=ni, the value of the current is,

i=Hn=2.4×103×15×10-260=6 A
