Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

Q1. [1]
The strength of magnetic field produced inside a long straight current carrying solenoid does not depend upon :
  1. (A) number of turns in the solenoid
  2. (B) direction of current flowing through the solenoid
  3. (C) material of the core filled inside the solenoid
  4. (D) radius of the coil of the solenoid

Model Answer

(D) radius of the coil of the solenoid

The magnetic field inside a solenoid depends on the number of turns, current direction, and core material, but not on the radius (diameter) of the solenoid coil.

Explanation

The key fact is that the magnetic field inside a solenoid is uniform and depends on the number of turns per unit length, the current, and the permeability of the core material. The radius of the solenoid does not affect the field strength inside it. Examiners expect students to identify option (D) as the correct answer.
