Solenoid - Magnetic Field and Vector Potential For Finite Continuous Solenoid

Magnetic Field and Vector Potential For Finite Continuous Solenoid

A finite solenoid is a solenoid with finite length. Continuous means that the solenoid is not formed by discrete coils but by a sheet of conductive material. We assume the current is uniformly distributed on the surface of it, and it has surface current density K. In cylindrical coordinates:

The magnetic field can be found by vector potential. The vector potential for a finite solenoid with radius a, length L in cylindrical coordinates is is:

where

The, and are complete elliptic integral of first, second, and third kind.

By using

the magnetic flux density is:

Famous quotes containing the words magnetic, field, potential, finite and/or continuous:

    We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I would say that deconstruction is affirmation rather than questioning, in a sense which is not positive: I would distinguish between the positive, or positions, and affirmations. I think that deconstruction is affirmative rather than questioning: this affirmation goes through some radical questioning, but it is not questioning in the field of analysis.
    Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)

    Democracy is timelessly human, and timelessness always implies a certain amount of potential youthfulness.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    God is a being of transcendent and unlimited perfections: his nature therefore is incomprehensible to finite spirits.
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
