Answer

a) ${\bf 0.94}\;\rm V/m$ b) ${\bf 10}\;\rm T$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the strength of the induced electric field inside the solenoid is given by $$E=\dfrac{r}{2}\left| \dfrac{dB}{dt}\right|\tag 1$$ where $B$ here varies sinusoidally between 8.0 T and 12.0 T at a frequency of 10 Hz, so $$B=10+2\sin(2\pi f t)\tag 2$$ Plug into (1), $$E=\dfrac{r}{2}\left| \dfrac{d }{dt}\left[10+2\sin(2\pi f t)\right]\right| $$ $$E=\dfrac{r}{2}\left| 4\pi f\cos(2\pi f t) \right| $$ $$E=\dfrac{4\pi f r}{2}\left| \cos(2\pi f t) \right| $$ $$E=2\pi f r\left| \cos(2\pi f t) \right| $$ So the maximum electric field occurs at $\cos(2\pi ft)=\pm 1$, so $$E_{\rm max}=2\pi f r $$ Plug the known; $$E_{\rm max}=2\pi (10)(1.5\times 10^{-2})$$ $$E_{\rm max}=\color{red}{\bf 0.94}\;\rm V/m$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ We need $B$ at $E_{\rm max}$ where $\cos(2\pi f t)=1$ which means $2\pi ft =0$. Plug that into (2), $$B=10+2\sin(0) $$ $$B=\color{red}{\bf 10}\;\rm T$$
