That is a good question, I guess it would depend on the exact geometry, but I don't know for sure.brainyman89 said:if we have a solenoid suspended freely and no current is traversing it, and we approach a magnet toward it, would it repel or rotate?
The magnetic field of a solenoid is very similar in shape to the magnetic field of a bar magnet, but I don't know what you mean by "totally".brainyman89 said:can we consider a solenoid totally as a bar magnet when a current traverses it??
Yes, there is a wide difference between a wire and a current. However, in all of your examples so far you have a changing flux in a circuit and therefore an emf and therefore a current in the wire. If you made a different example then I would answer differently, but so far you have only made examples of wires with currents.brainyman89 said:my another question is: when we are providing a wire, u r considering that we are providing current, this is confusing me there is a wide difference between a wire and a current?
