A piece of copper wire with thin insulation, 200 m long and 1.00 mm in diameter, is
wound onto a plastic tube to form a long solenoid. This coil has a circular cross section
and consists of tightly wound turns in one layer. If the current in the solenoid drops
linearly from 1.80 A to zero in 0.120 seconds, an emf of 80.0 mV is induced in the coil.
What is the length of the solenoid, measured along its axis?
