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)

    They talk about a woman’s sphere,
    As though it had a limit.
    There’s not a place in earth or heaven.
    There’s not a task to mankind given ...
    Without a woman in it.
    —Kate Field (1838–1896)

    While each child is born with his or her own distinct genetic potential for physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, the possibilities for reaching that potential remain tied to early life experiences and the parent-child relationship within the family.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

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

    I read the newspapers avidly. It is my one form of continuous fiction.
    Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
