11. Two solenoids P and Q have length and the total number of turns in the ratio of 1:2. What is the ratio of the magnetic field inside the two solenoids due to the same current?
 
Suggested solution:
 
Let N1 and L1 denote the total number of turns and length of the solenoid P. The corresponding quantities for the solenoid Q are N2 and L2.
 
Given:
 
 
Let n1 and n2 denote the number of turns per unit length in the solenoid P and Q respectively, Obviously
 
 
 
Since n and I are same, B will be same. Therefore B1 / B2 = 1
