Question
What is the shape of field lines inside a current-carrying solenoid? What does the pattern of field lines inside a current-carrying solenoid indicate?

Solution
The magnetic field lines inside a solenoid are in the form of parallel straight lines. This pattern of field lines indicates that the strength of the magnetic field is the same at all points inside the solenoid.
