Uniform Circular Motion "A Jet Pilot" Hi, my apologies if this has been posted before. I was just wondering if someone could help look over this question for me and confirm if I did it correct or not. It is a written homework rather than online so I can't check my answer to see if I did it...

I understand that the magnetic field at points inside the solenoid is the vector sum of the B field due to each ring. How can the field inside be uniform then since if you consider just one loop in the solenoid the value of the B field is different at different points in that circle or loop.

This is something that when I see the work done it makes sense, but I find it difficult to do myself. I'm also aware there is an explicit formula for doing this but that involves Jacobians and a well-defined inverse, so I think it's more intuitive to do it step-by-step. Problem: Suppose $X...
