Magnetic Flux Given Two Different Areas

Student 3058 9 years ago updated by Physics Tutorial Center Staff 9 years ago 1

If there are two concentric Solenoids with only the inner one carrying a current, what is the flux through the face of the larger solenoid?

Closed

Recall that the equation for flux is A B⃗⋅ n̂ dA. Further recall that the B⃗ for a solenoid is constant within the solenoid and zero outside. Look at evaluating this integral across the area of the larger solenoid cross-sectional face. Where is B⃗ zero? Where is it not zero? How does this affect the integral?


Hope this helps!
