The space inside a straight current carrying solenoid is filled with a magnetic material having magnetic susceptibility equal to 1.2×10-5. What is fractional increase in the magnetic field inside solenoid with respect to air as medium inside the solenoid?
  1. 1.2×10-5
  2. 1.2×10-3
  3. 1.8×10-3
  4. 2.4×10-5

Solution

Given here, χ=1.2×10-5

Magnetic field inside the material in solenoid is B'=μ01+χni, here, i is current.

Now, magnetic field with air as medium inside solenoid is B=μ0ni.

So, fractional increase is B'-BB=χ=1.2×10-5
