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)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Democracy is timelessly human, and timelessness always implies a certain amount of potential youthfulness.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
