Magnetic Field outside AC Solenoid

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic field (B) outside an AC-driven solenoid, one approach is to adapt existing DC formulas by substituting the current variable with a time-dependent function. For instance, using a sinusoidal function like i = 6sin(377) can yield a trigonometric time-varying solution. Additionally, searching for "Transient field outside of solenoid" may provide relevant resources and insights. The discussion emphasizes the need for specific expressions tailored to AC conditions, which differ from those for DC. Engaging with these strategies can assist in deriving the desired magnetic field calculations.

Hi

I have scoured the internet trying to find the right expression to calculate the magnetic field (B) outside of an AC driven solenoid. All i keep getting is stuff for DC driven or inside the solenoid.

Can anyone help?

thanks

Hmmm

Without looking up any references, what comes to mind is simply plugging in the time domain function of the current into any DC formula you have.

For example.. the formula probably has a capital I in it... change that to small i then find the time domain function for i

like,

i = 6sin377

You'll end up with an answer that is also a trigonometric time varying function...

Try doing a google search using the term "Transient field outside of solenoid". You can also replace field with Magnetic or B-Field.

Good Luck

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
