Magnetic field strength at point P around a solenoid

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic field strength at point P outside a solenoid, the Biot-Savart law must be employed for precise numeric or computer calculations. The solenoid is defined with a length L, number of turns N, current I, and radius R, with its axis along the X-axis. Since point P can be located anywhere outside the solenoid, the calculations must account for its specific coordinates (x, y, z). Amperes law is not applicable in this scenario as it only provides the mean strength along a closed path. Accurate results require high precision data formats in the computations.

I have a solenoid, Length L, number of turns N, ampers I Radius R

I have a Point P(x,y,z) anywhere around said solenoid.

How can I calculate the field strength at point P, note it is OUTSIDE the solenoid, and could be anywhere outside. Assume the origin is the center of the solenoid, let's assume the axis of the solenoid is along the X axis, -L/2 to +L/2

Thanks!

I assume that the solenoid has no (iron)core:
You must use a numeric/computer calculation, using Biot-Savart. This calculation should be exact, with a high precision data format.
You cannot use Amperes law, because here the mean strength along a circulation path is calculated.
 
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...
