CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2008 (T&T) · Paper 2 · Question 1(b)(i)

A coil with 16 turns is wound on top of a solenoid with cross-sectional area of 50 cm^2. An a.c. current through the solenoid produces a peak magnetic field of 7.5 mT changing at a frequency of 500 Hz.

Calculate the MAXIMUM value of the TOTAL flux linkage through the 16 turn coil.
