Problem 4 - Olympiad

A solenoid of length l and radius r has n turns per unit length. If a current I flows through it, what is the magnetic field inside the solenoid?

Correct: A

Inside a solenoid, the magnetic field is given by B = μ₀nI, where n is the number of turns per unit length. This derivation assumes a long solenoid where end effects are negligible.
