Solution by G. Nootz (third edition) J.D. Jackson A right-circular solenoid of defined length L and radi carries a current I, Show that that the magnetic induc sais a has N tums per unit length and oon the cylinder axis in the limit NL B HX (c0s0, +cos6,) where the angles are defined in the figure. Since the winding of the solenoid is very dense ( NL — «» ) there is no z-component of the current I. The Contribution due to one winding is that of a circular loop. ap =H p AUF _ My , Sin(90) 4m ffP o 4m dl Due to symmetry only the z-component remains and we have My sind F My, sin@ B. al lade fla 12Since B, is only the contribution due to one ring we let B, > dB,. We then find: Hy ,sin'@ a B= ‘Ndz Making a change of variables: Integrating from 0, to 7-05: EXT (c0s6, +cos6,)
