The magnetic field inside a long straight solenoid-carrying current

The magnetic field inside a long straight solenoid-carrying current

Options

  1. Ais zero
  2. Bdecreases as we move towards its end
  3. Cincreases as we move towards its end
  4. Dis uniform inside the solenoid

Correct answer

D. is uniform inside the solenoid

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field lines inside a long straight solenoid carrying current are in the form of parallel straight lines. This indicates that the magnetic field is the same at all points inside the solenoid.

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside an ideal long solenoid is given by B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n I, where nn is the number of turns per unit length and II is the current. Since μ0\mu_0, nn, and II are constant, the magnetic field is uniform inside the solenoid.
