Question:

Coercivity \(=4\times10^3 A/m\). Solenoid: 500 turns, length 1 m. Find current needed to demagnetise.

Show Hint

For solenoid: \(H = NI/L\), not \(\mu_0 NI/L\).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Magnetic field in solenoid: \[ H = \frac{NI}{L} \]

Step 1:
Use coercivity
\[ H = 4\times10^3 = \frac{500 \cdot I}{1} \]

Step 2:
Solve
\[ I = \frac{4\times10^3}{500} = 8A \] Conclusion: \[ 8A \]
