The magnetic field inside a current carrying very long solenoid is

The magnetic field inside a current carrying very long solenoid is

Options

  1. AUniform
  2. BNon-uniform
  3. CZero
  4. DHighest at mid-point

Correct answer

A. Uniform

Step-by-step solution

For a very long current-carrying solenoid, the magnetic field at any point well inside it is given by B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n I, where μ0\mu_0 is the permeability of free space, nn is the number of turns per unit length, and II is the steady current.

Since the parameters nn and II are constant, the magnetic field has a constant magnitude. Furthermore, the direction of the magnetic field is parallel to the axis of the solenoid throughout its interior.

Therefore, the magnetic field inside a very long solenoid is uniform.
