    Field Solenoid
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the magnetic field strength at a specific axial distance from a finite length solenoid and the force exerted on a piece of iron placed in that field. While the equation B=urNI applies to infinite solenoids, the field strength for finite solenoids requires more complex calculations. The participants acknowledge the challenge of finding the magnetic field outside a finite solenoid, which is not zero as it is for infinite solenoids. Additionally, the force experienced by iron in a magnetic field of 10 tesla is questioned, highlighting the need for further analysis. Understanding these concepts is essential for applying electromagnetic theory in practical scenarios.

Given a solenoid we can find the field inside and at the ends by B=urNI.
Now, what is the field strength at some x -axial distance away from the solenoid?
What force will this field impart on a piece of iron?

That equation assumes that the solenoid is infinite, in which case the field outside the solenoid is zero. For a finite length solenoid, it is a more difficult problem but one that has ben studied previously I am sure.
 
Leave the problem for finite length solenoid now, Born2bwire.
Even if we calculate the field Strength B, what force will it impart on a piece of iron?

What is the context of your question?

I am just asking two elementary questions
1. What is the magnetic field strength at any given point on the axial line of a finite length current carrying solenoid.
2. What force will a piece of iron experience if it is placed at the point where magnetic filed strength is say 10 tesla.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
