Problem

Two long solenoids A and B are wound with the same type of wire. Solenoid A has 600600 turns, length 0.30 m0.30\,\text{m} and carries a current of 2.5 A2.5\,\text{A}. Solenoid B has 750750 turns and length 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m}. What current must pass through solenoid B so that it produces the same magnetic field as solenoid A? (a) 2.0 A2.0\,\text{A} (b) 3.3 A3.3\,\text{A} (c) 4.2 A4.2\,\text{A} (d) 1.9 A1.9\,\text{A}
