A Solenoid is a type of electromagnet, which consists of a coil tightly wound into a helix. Usually it produces a uniform magnetic field when an electric current is run through it. The purpose of a solenoid is to create a controlled magnetic field.
The Main Idea
The purpose of this application is to explore another way to apply the Biot-Sarvart law. The magnetic field is uniform along the axis of the solenoid, when electric current is run through it. The solenoid has has to have coils much larger than the radius.
A Mathematical Model
This is the formula for the magnetic field inside a long solenoid: [math]\displaystyle{ B = {\mu _{0}} \frac{NI}{L} }[/math]
To solve for the magnetic field of a solenoid, you can use a four step process. Step: Cut up the distribution into pieces and Draw the |Delta|B Consider this: a solenoid the length of L that's made up for N circular loops tightly wound, each with a radius of R and a conventional current in the loops is I.
