Formula for magnetic field of solenoid

AI Thread Summary
The magnetic field of a solenoid on its axis can be calculated using the formula B = kμ₀ In/L at the center, where B is the magnetic field, I is the current, k is the permeability constant, n is the number of turns, and L is the length of the solenoid. To find the magnetic field at a distance from the center, the Biot-Savart law is applied, resulting in B = (μ R² n I) / (2d²) for large distances, where R is the radius and d is the distance from the solenoid. The discussion also seeks to understand how to calculate the force on a material point within the magnetic field of the solenoid. Additional resources were referenced for further clarification on these calculations. Understanding these formulas is essential for analyzing the interaction of magnetic fields with material points.

Hi!
I need formula for magnetic field of solenoid on axis of solenoid in some distance from center.Also I need something about interaction magnetic field on material point(interaction solenoid on material point).I want to know force that infuence on material point. Thx in advance and sry for my bad english :-p

The field at the center is:

B = k\mu_0 In/L

where B = magnetic field; I = current; k = permeability constant \mu/\mu_0; and n = number of turns; L = length of solenoid.

To find the B at a distance from the center you have to apply the Biot-Savart law which is pretty complicated for a solenoid. You have to integrate the contributions from all the current elements of each loop. At a large distance from the center (large compared to the length and diameter of the solenoid) it would be something like:

B = \frac{\mu R^2nI}{2d^2}

where R is the radius of the solenoid; d is the distance away; n is no of turns;

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
