Magnetic field of an inside out electromagnet?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of an inside-out electromagnet, where the coils are wrapped around the interior of a metal tube. It is established that the magnetic field is generated by the coils themselves, not by the material they are wrapped around. This configuration raises questions about the distribution and strength of the magnetic field compared to traditional electromagnets. The implications of this design suggest unique applications in magnetic field manipulation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetism principles
  • Familiarity with coil winding techniques
  • Knowledge of magnetic field generation
  • Basic concepts of magnetic field visualization
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of coil configuration on magnetic field strength
  • Explore applications of inside-out electromagnets in technology
  • Learn about magnetic field visualization tools and techniques
  • Investigate the differences between traditional and unconventional electromagnet designs
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, electrical engineers, and hobbyists interested in electromagnet design and magnetic field applications.

What if an electromagnet's core is on the outside? How would it's magnetic field look? (The wire being wrapped in coils on the inside of a tube or pipe looking metal)

What generates the magnetic field? The coils or what the coils are wrapped around?

It would be the coils in this case
 
OK, so what does that suggest about the answer to your question?
