alleryThe magnetic field inside a current-carrying solenoid is:
AUniform
BUnequal
CUnsteady
DUndefined
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Uniform
1. The field lines inside the solenoid are parallel straight lines.
2. That means the field is the same at all points inside it.
3. So the field inside a solenoid is uniform.
