Solenoid Magnetic Field

Home | Physics 2 | Electromagnetic Induction | Solenoid Magnetic Field

The solenoid depicted below has a diameter, Φ\Phi = 10 cm, and initial B\vec{B} = 40 mT. Due to an increasing current, the B\vec{B} field increases at 7 mTs\frac{mT}{s}. Determine the magnitude and direction of the induced electric field at a radius of r = 9 cm (this is outside of the solenoid).
