A solenoid is an arrangement of many current loops placed together as shown below. The current through each loop is the same and is in the direction shown.
Obtain or draw an enlargement of the figure.
1. At each of the labeled points, draw a vector to indicate the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field. Use the principle of superposition in determine your answer.
2. Sketch magnetic field lines on the enlargement.
Describe the magnetic field near the center of the solenoid.
3. How does the field of the solenoid a points A-E compare with that of a bar magnet (both inside and outside?
Which end of the solenoid corresponds to a north pole? Which end corresponds to a south pole?
4. How would the magnetic field at any point within the solenoid be affected by the following changes? Explain your reasoning in each case.
• The current through each coil of the solenoid is increased by a factor of two.
• The number of coils in each unit length of the solenoid is increased by a factor of two, with the current through each coil remaining the same.

- The figure below shows the cross-sections of the two infinite straight co-axial conductors. The conducting domains in the figure are represented by shaded regions. The inner conductor carries current I that is flowing into the page, while the outer conductor carries current I that is flowing out of the page. If the given currents are uniformly distributed over their corresponding conducting bodies, what is the magnetic field vector at point (0, +r), where b < r < c?arrow_forwardThese dots representa magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the paper, and is pointing out of the paper, toward you. The field strength is 1.2 T. A charged particle enters the field as shown. Its speed is 3.0 x 106m/s, and its mass is 10-25kg.

On the left is a long, straight wire carrying current I1. In the same plane, there is a rectangular loop, which carries a current I2. The dimensions of the rectangular loop are shown in the figure, and the left side of the loop is a distance c from the wire. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted on the loop by the magnetic field created by the wire?
