Maxwell equation, magnnetic induction field question?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around deducing the magnetic induction field inside a long straight circular coil, specifically a solenoid, with a given number of turns per meter and current. The context involves applying Maxwell's equations, particularly Ampere's circuital law.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster expresses difficulty in understanding how to apply the relevant equations and seeks substantial hints. Some participants suggest considering symmetry to determine the direction of the magnetic field and finding a suitable contour for applying Ampere's law.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different aspects of the problem. While some guidance has been offered regarding symmetry and contours, there is no explicit consensus on the approach to take, and further clarification is being sought.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of the original poster's struggle with the problem being a part of a larger question, indicating potential constraints in understanding the full context. Additionally, there is confusion regarding the nature of the magnetic field in relation to the coil.

The Attempt at a Solution



I am struggling with this, it is the second (although self contained) part to another question. A tip would be enormously appretiated. Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
anyone? please...
 
Hey thanks for replying. I have looked at that wiki article... and I am still too thick to work out what I have to do... Can someone please give me a more substantial hint? Thanks
 
There are a few things you should look at. First of symmetry can you tell me by using symmetry in which direction the B-field will point? Secondly can you find a contour such that you can apply Ampere's law easily?

I know it will be going in circles around the coil. But I can't think of any contours... I am majorly missing something here.
 
No the magnetic field will not be going in circles around the coil, how did you get to this answer?

For clarification. We are talking about a solenoid here right?
