Question 45

A physicist is measuring the net magnetic flux density BBB inside a custom solenoid as the control current III is adjusted. The physicist correctly evaluates the flux density at two specific current levels:

B(−5)=−2 and B(5)=2 B(-5) = -2 \text{ and } B(5) = 2 B(−5)=−2 and B(5)=2

and concludes that there must be an equilibrium current level in the interval I∈(−5,5)I \in (-5, 5)I∈(−5,5) where the flux density is exactly zero (B=0B = 0B=0), citing the change of sign. For which of the following models for B(I)B(I)B(I) is this conclusion incorrect?

  • B(I)=0.4IB(I) = 0.4IB(I)=0.4I
  • B(I)=10IB(I) = \frac{10}{I}B(I)=I10​
  • B(I)=0.016I3B(I) = 0.016I^3B(I)=0.016I3
  • B(I)=6II+10B(I) = \frac{6I}{I+10}B(I)=I+106I​
