What is a solenoid? Discuss the magnetic field due to a current-carrying solenoid. How can you find the direction of its field?
What is a Solenoid? A solenoid is a long coil of wire, typically wound in the shape of a cylinder, through which an electric current passes. It is designed to create a uniform magnetic field inside the coil and a more complex, weaker magnetic field outside it. Solenoids are commonly used in electromagnets, electric relays, … Read more
