Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A circular coil of radius 0.2 m carries a current of 0.5 A. Calculate the magnetic field strength at 0.1 m from the center along the axis, and explain how real-world applications of this field might differ based on the distance from the coil.
💡 Hint: Make sure to substitute the values carefully!
Design an electromagnet using a circular coil of wire. Explain the parameters you would adjust to increase the magnetic field strength and why these adjustments are effective.
💡 Hint: Consider both the physical properties of the coil and the electrical supply.
