A large long solenoid is made with 60 turns per centimetre. A smaller solenoid has 30 turns,
is 2.0 cm long and has a diameter of 0.80 cm. The ends of the small solenoid are connected
to a 10 resistor. The small solenoid is placed right in the centre of the large solenoid. In
the diagram below the small solenoid is shown outside the large solenoid for clarity. The
large solenoid is then connected to a DC power supply which changes the current in the
large solenoid from zero to 10 A in a time of 2.0 ms.
