I Magnetic field at a point along the solenoid's axis but outside the solenoid

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the EMF induced by a solenoid when the secondary circuit for eddy currents is located outside the solenoid's length but still along its axis. The main challenge is determining the vector magnetic field inductance at this external point, as existing resources primarily address fields inside or outside the solenoid's radius. Participants suggest researching the magnetic field along the axis of a current loop and integrating the turns per unit length over the solenoid's length. A technical issue with LaTeX formatting was also addressed, which was resolved by correcting a missing bracket. The conversation highlights the complexity of magnetic field calculations in this specific configuration.

TL;DR Summary
For a personal project, I need to calculate the EMF induced by a solenoid, the problem is, that the secondary circuiit where the eddy currents are formed are outside the solenoid's length but on it's axis.

The problem comes when i need to calculate the vector magnetic field inductance at a point outside the solenoid, i've been searching for quite a while but I have not managed to find an awnser, I just find keep finding that the net magnetic field vector due to ampere's law is near zero, but outsithe the radious of the solenoid, not ousithe the length of the solenoid

In Gaussian units, B is
$$B=\frac{2\pi nI}{c}\left[\frac{L/2-z}{\sqrt{(z-L/2)^2+a^2},
+\frac{(z+L/2)}{\sqrt{(z+L/2)^2+a^2}}\right]$$,
where ##n## is the number of turns per cm, ##I## is the current, ##a## is the radius, and ##z## is the distance along the axis from the center.
Why isn't latex working?

Google the magnetic field in axis of a current loop a distance ##z## from the loop (the off-axis field is moderately nasty but the on axis field is a simple expression). Then work out how many turns per unit length you have and integrate over the length of the solenoid.

You have unbalanced {} in the denominator of the first fraction inside the square brackets.

It was a missing bracket in the first frac.

Perfect, just what i needed, thnks!
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
