In an ideal infinitely long solenoid, how does field strength vary across its inside?
AIt alternates at each turn
BIt is radially uniform
CIt rises toward the axis
DIt falls with radius
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. It is radially uniform
The field is homogeneous and does not depend on distance from the solenoid axis.
