Solution
Suppose a current i is passed through the inner solenoid S1.
A magnetic field B=μ0n1i is produced inside S1 , whereas the field outside it is zero.
The flux through each turn S2 is Bπr12=μ0n1iπr12
The total flux through all the turns in a length l of S2 is
ϕ=(μ0n1iπr12)n2l=(μ0n1n2πr12l)i
⇒M=μ0n1n2πr12l

How is the magnetic field inside a given solenoid made strong?
The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is B = µ0 ni. It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
A circular coil of one turn of radius 5.0 cm is rotated about a diameter with a constant angular speed of 80 revolutions per minute.

Neglecting the resistance of the coil, find the heat produced in the circuit in one minute.
