SUMMARY
The magnetic field contribution of B°dl at sections b and d inside a solenoid is zero due to the perpendicular orientation of the magnetic field relative to the differential length element dl. According to Ampere's Law, the circulation of the magnetic field around a closed loop is determined by the enclosed current. In an infinitely long solenoid, the magnetic field is uniform and parallel to the axis, leading to cancellation of contributions from sections b and d where dl is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
