Derive the expression for the magnetic field due to a solenoid of length ‘2l’, radius ‘a’ having ’n’ number of turns per unit length and carrying a steady current ‘I’ at a point
on the axial line, distance ‘r’ from the centre of the solenoid. How does this expression compare with the axial magnetic field due to a bar magnet of magnetic moment ‘m’?

उत्तर
Consider a solenoid of length 2l, radius a and having n turns per unit length. It is carrying a current I.
We have to evaluate the axial field at a point P at a distance r from the centre of the solenoid
Consider a circular element of thickness dx of the solenoid at a distance x from its centre.
The magnitude of the field due to this circular loop carrying a current I is given as
`dB=(mu_0dxnIa^2)/(2[(r-x)^2+a^2]^(3/2))`
The magnitude of the total field is obtained by integrating over all the elements from x = −l to x = +l.
`B=(mu_0nIa^2)/2int_(-1)^(+1)dx/(2[(r-x)^2+a^2]^(3/2))`
Consider the far axial field of the solenoid, so r ≫a and r≫l. Hence, we have
[(r-x)2+a2]3/2 ≈ r3
So, we get
`B=(mu_0nIa^2)/(2r^3)int_(-1)^(+1)dx`
`B=(mu_0nIa^2)/(2r^3)2l`
The magnitude of the magnetic moment of the solenoid is
m Total number of turns current cross-sectional area
m=(nx2l)xIx(πa2)
Therefore, we get the magnetic field as
`B=(mu_0)/(4pi) (2m)/r^3`
This is the expression for magnetic field due to a solenoid on the axial line at a distance r from the centre.
This magnetic field is also the field due to a bar magnet of magnetic moment m.
