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:

“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)
“Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
“The real community of man ... is the community of those who seek the truth, of the potential knowers.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”
—David Lodge (b. 1935)
“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)
