Homework Statement


For my physics investigation I am required to first find the theoretical magnetic flux denisty at different points about a solenoid. The points are outside the solenoid: along the axis but past the ends and; perpendicular to the centre of the solenoid but outside.

So far I have looked at many links to Biot-Savart law, but they only seem to show equations for a loop and not a solenoid.

Homework Equations


I have tried for the point along the axis:

but it only works with in the confines of the solenoid.

I also tried:

but it doesn't work for the solenoid.

What I basically need is two equations, one for the axis, and, one for the points perpendicular to the centre.

i was looking for this same equation a few months ago, bloody hard thing to find but i found it!

for a thin shell solenoid use the equation found here: http://www.netdenizen.com/emagnettest/solenoids/?thinsolenoid

for a solenoid with a shell use the equation found here: http://www.netdenizen.com/emagnettest/solenoids/?solenoid
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
