Magnetic Flux Density at different points about a solenoid

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the theoretical magnetic flux density at various points around a solenoid, specifically along the axis beyond the ends and perpendicular to the center outside the solenoid. The Biot-Savart law was referenced, but the user found it challenging to locate applicable equations for a solenoid. Two specific equations were identified: one for a thin shell solenoid and another for a solenoid with a shell, both sourced from netdenizen.com.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic flux density concepts
  • Familiarity with the Biot-Savart law
  • Knowledge of solenoid configurations
  • Basic physics equations related to electromagnetism
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the equations for magnetic flux density in solenoids from netdenizen.com
  • Explore applications of the Biot-Savart law in different geometries
  • Investigate the effects of solenoid dimensions on magnetic field strength
  • Learn about numerical methods for calculating magnetic fields in complex configurations
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and researchers interested in electromagnetism, particularly those studying solenoids and magnetic field calculations.

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
