Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which direction does the magnetic field point inside a solenoid carrying current? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what a solenoid is. A solenoid is a coil of wire that creates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.
  • Step 2: Know that when current flows through the solenoid, it generates a magnetic field inside it.
  • Step 3: Remember that magnetic field lines inside a solenoid run from one end to the other, similar to how they do in a bar magnet.
  • Step 4: Identify the ends of the solenoid. One end acts like the north pole and the other acts like the south pole.
  • Step 5: Conclude that inside the solenoid, the magnetic field points from the north pole to the south pole.
