Can a Loop of Wire Be a Solenoid?

[jimmy42]

Can a loop of wire be considered a solenoid, which has been turned once?

-Thanks.

yes, you can consider it as a solenoid with one loop. but it would practically not be a solenoid, as it won't have uniform magnetic field inside it.

it is a solenoid but an extremely non ideal one
for ideal solenoid ... length >> radius of any loop

but mostly any1 would call is just a loop instead of solenoid
