  • Magnetic field due to a long straight solenoid
  • Magnetic field due to a toroidal solenoid
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Solenoid

An insulated long wire closely wound in the form of a helix, whose length is very large compared to its diameter, is called a solenoid.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Toroid

An anchor ring (torus) around which a large number of turns of metallic wire are wound, forming an endless solenoid, is called a toroid.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Key Points: Magnetic Field due to a Long Straight Solenoid

  • B inside is independent of length and diameter and is uniform across the cross-section.
  • B at the ends = ½ × B at the centre.
  • B outside the solenoid is zero.
  • Field pattern is similar to that of a bar magnet.
  • B inside the toroid is independent of r, provided turns per unit length remain same.
  • B outside the toroid is zero; field is confined to the core on which winding is made.
