Calculating Magnetic Field Outside a Finite Solenoid Using Elliptic Integrals

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the magnetic field outside a finite solenoid involves complex equations, particularly using elliptic integrals. The discussion highlights the need for a reliable method to determine the magnetic field vector in 3D space. A reference report from NASA is provided for additional insights. Participants express varying levels of familiarity with elliptic integrals, indicating a potential barrier for some. Understanding these integrals is crucial for accurate calculations in this context.

i'm working on a project and in one of it's steps i need to calculate the magnetic field outside a finite solenoid and I'm stuck there
is there any equation to calculate the magnetic field vector in 3D space ?
thanks guys

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
