Magnetic field outside solenoid

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnetic field outside a finite solenoid, the Biot-Savart law is recommended for calculations. The field at a point along the z-axis, 10 cm from one end, can be determined by integrating the contributions from each segment of the solenoid. For points not directly on the z-axis, the same law applies, but the geometry of the setup must be considered to account for the varying distances from the wire segments. The complexity increases with the solenoid's finite length, number of turns, and radius, necessitating careful mathematical treatment. Accurate results require precise integration techniques based on the solenoid's specific parameters.

Instead of the usual

B = μ0NI for field inside solenoid...

how should i go about finding the field let say... 10cm away from one end of the solenoid
1. directly at the z-axis
2. not directly at the z-axis

this is assuming the solenoid has finite length, finite number of turns ,finite radius
(ex. L = 25cm , R = 10cm, N = 1000, I = 1A)

Please help me out hehe thx

You can use the Biot–Savart law or some equations derived from that law.
 
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...
