A cylindrical coil of radius \(r\), having \(n\) turns per unit length and carrying a current \(I\) has a magnetic field near its end equal to:

  1. A \(\mu_0 n I\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_0 n I}{r}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0 n I}{r^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

While the magnetic field at the center of a long solenoid is \(\mu_0 n I\), the field at either end is exactly half of that value. This is because, at the boundary, the magnetic field lines begin to diverge and spread out into the surrounding space. D) \(\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2}\).
