Solenoid: Consider an ideal solenoid of length L, N windings, and radius b (L is much longer than b). A current I is flowing through the wire windings. If the radius of the solenoid is doubled to 2b, but all the other quantities remain the same, the magnetic field inside the solenoid will

A. remain the same.
B. become twice as strong as initially.
C. become one-half as strong as initially.
D. become four times as strong as initially.
E. become one-fourth as strong as initially.

A flat roof is modeled as a flat plate insulated on the bottom and placed in the sunlight. If the radiant heat that the roof receives from the sun is 600 W/m2 , the convection heat transfer coefficient between the roof and the air is 12 W/(m2 K), and the air temperature is 27°C, determine the roof temperature for the following two cases: (a) Radiative heat loss to space is negligible. (b) The roof is black (? = 1.0) and radiates to space, which is assumed to be a black-body at 0 K.
