Explain why the magnetic force doesn’t change the speed. Why does this also imply that magnetic fields cannot do work?arrow_forwardWe have two solenoids with equal magnetic field at the center. The length of solenoid 1 is L1, number of turns is N1 and the current through it is 11. Solenoid 2 of length L2 is seven times longer than solenoid 1, and the current through it, 12, is 4 times larger than 11. How does N2 compare to N1 for the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid to be equal? O N1 = 7/4 N2 O N1=N2 O N1 = 1/7 N2 N1 = 7 N2 N1= 4/7 N2arrow_forward
