Equation of a Magnetic Field of a Solenoid

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the equation for the magnetic field of a solenoid, specifically the formula B_{center}=(Current Density)*radius*F(α, β), where F(α, β) involves a logarithmic function. The user is seeking assistance in recalling the name of a French physicist who derived this formula from the Biot-Savart law, which is relevant for engineering applications. They mention a reference to the book "Superconducting Magnets" by Martin Wilson and note that "Physics" by Hausmann-Slack provides a detailed derivation of the magnetic flux density in solenoids. Additionally, the field intensity formula H=4πNI/10l is highlighted, emphasizing its significance in the context of solenoid calculations. The user expresses urgency in retrieving this information to avoid embarrassment in their research discussions.

I'm a Physics student currently working on some research with my advisor. My advisor doesn't know much about modeling solenoids so I've been tasked with reaching outside for help. I did that, but I can't remember the formula or the guy's name so I'm turning to you guys for help.

There is some formula that is of the format

B_{center}=(Current Density)*radius*F(\alpha, \beta); F(\alpha, \beta) = \ln\frac{something_{1}}{soemthing_{2}}

If I remember correctly, this came about by some french guy who had integrated the Biot Savart law and came up with this. His name started with an F. I had it written down on a piece of paper with the guy who gave it to me, but I seem to have lost that paper. He said that it is used in engineering purposes since the biot savart law is used for the physics behind it. He pulled it out of Superconducting Magnets by Martin Wilson.

Can someone please help me re-find this so I can use it and I don't look like a fool by having to ask him again?

Thanks!

The book Physics by Hausmann-Slack has 5 1/2 pages on the derivation of the flux density on the central portion of a straight solenoid.
Physics book gives the field intensity as H=4PiNI/10l
H=field intensity in oersteds
Pi=3.14
N=Number of turns
I=current in amp.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
