Where is magnetic field strongest in a solenoid?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is strongest at its center, as confirmed by experimental data. The magnetic field remains relatively constant throughout the interior of the solenoid. An electric field is generated within the solenoid only when the magnetic field is changing, as described by Maxwell's equations. Specifically, the relationship between electric and magnetic fields can be analyzed using Ampere's Law and the equation curl E = -dB/dt.

Where is magnetic field strongest in a solenoid?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What do you know about solenoids and what have you done so far?
 
I have been an experiment of my own and have collected some data.

When a current is produced in a coil it produces an electromagnetic field at the center of the coil parallel to it's length.

The data I corrected shows that the magnetic field is strongest at the center of the solenoid is that right? but the difference is really not great.

Suppose I was supposed to identify the electric field and the electric potential where would I assume that?
 
The magnetic field inside the solenoid is pretty much constant on the inside. You could use amperes law to find it.
 
How would you connect electric field with a solenoid experiment?

I am not sure what you're asking for but you would have an electric field inside the solenoid only while the magnetic field is changing.

But how is that possible, I thoughtn electric field is by per charge? Where exactly will the electric field be inside a solenoid?
 
atleast maxwell's equation tells that a cause for an electric field is either a charge or a changing magnetic field.
curl E=-(dB)/(dt);
