alleryStart learning →The magnetic field outside an ideal long solenoid is:
Astrongest near the wires
Bequal to the inside field
Chalf of the inside value
Dpractically zero there
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. practically zero there
For an ideal solenoid the lines are widely spaced outside, and B is taken as zero there.
