where L is the length, D is the diameter of the solenoid, n is the number of turns per unit length on the
solenoid, and7 is the current in the solenoid. At the midpoint of the solenoid, x 0, the magnetic field is
Be = Honl

If the solenoid is long and thin, L>>D, then B = 4, nl is true for most points inside the solenoid. If the
solenoid is short, and L and D are comparable, then the magnetic field inside the solenoid would

Since x is measured from the midpoint of the solenoid, x increases toward the opening of the solenoid. The
value of B at x 0 is the field strength at the midpoint of the solenoid, and the value of B at x 10 cm is the
field strength at the opening of the solenoid. B decreases as x increases. How fast does the field strength
decrease with x at various points?
If the diameter of the solertoid D is 5.0 cm, the length of the solenoid is 20 cm, n 4000 turns/m, and /
1.0A, again calculate the magnetic fields at different positions.

How fast does the magnetic field decrease with x compare with the previous case?
Now use B =H, nl to calculate the magnetic field.
How does this field value compare to the values you calculated using the dimensions of the solenoid?
Is it close to the value at the mid-point of the solenoid or at the opening of the solenoid?
