finally figured it out.. replace N(number of turns) in the formula with N = (L/Dia)*((RO-RI)/Dia) where L = length of solenoid, RO = outer radius, RI = inner radius, and Dia = the diameter of the wire you are using. Plugging into the formula: L = 0.0254m (1 inch) RI = 0.005m (5mm) Dia =...

Well now I'm embarrassed... I blame it on my lack of sleep:) So based on what I have so far, I've found the B field for a solenoid with increasing outer radius but with a constant number of turns - i.e. the wire diameter is increased to maintain dimension. I guess what I was trying to do...

Hey guys! New guy here so bear with me on my first post:) I'm trying to calculate the B field in the center of a finite solenoid for different outer radius sizes. I was able to find a formula online that gave the B field in the center of a solenoid given its length, inner radius, outer...
