1.  

The above animation represents a solenoid surrounded by a wire that makes four loops around the solenoid (position is given in meters and the magnetic field is given in mTesla). You may double-click anywhere inside the animation to add a magnetic field line and you may click-drag anywhere to measure the magnetic field strength at that point. What is the mutual inductance of this orientation if the current in the wires of the solenoid is 2 Amperes? Start

0.52mH.
Insufficient Information.
0.032mH.
0.13mH.


2.  

The above animation represents a solenoid with a self inductance of 10mH (position is given in centimeters and the magnetic field is given in m Tesla). You may double-click anywhere inside the animation to add a magnetic field line and you may click-drag anywhere to measure the magnetic field strength at that point. What is the number of turns of wire that make up the solenoid? Start

6.  

The circuit with a battery, an inductor and a 20 Ohm resistor can have a battery connected or disconnected depending on which switch is open. The battery is initially connected (switch 1 is closed and switch 2 is open) and then the battery is disconnected and the system evolves in time. You may look at the current from the graph after the switch 2 is closed and switch 1 is open. What is the inductance of the inductor?

12 mH.
24 mH.
4 mH.
36 mH.
