Why is the formula for magnetic field not divided by length in this image?

the formula for magnetic field
is like they show but its not divided by l
like they did

i can't see a reason why they present it that way
??

You mean in the equation for M?

If so, M is the mutual inductance and by definition,

\Phi_{\text{total}}=MI\implies M=\frac{\Phi_{\text{total}}}{I}
 
no
i am asking about the previous step
when they found the magnetic field
and the expression has l in the denominator

why??
 
Sorry, the lower case 'L' in your post looked a lot like an upper case 'i' the first time i read it...

\frac{N_b}{l} would give you th number of turns per unit length in the solenoid, which is what n represents in the version you are probably used to seeing: B=\mu_0 n I.
 
thanks :)
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
