Chapter 29: Magnetic Fields Due to Currents 29-55 THINK The net field at a point inside the solenoid

is the vector sum of the fields of the solenoid and that of the long straight wire along the central axis of the solenoid. r r r EXPRESS The magnetic field at a point P is given by B = Bs + Bw , where Bs and Bw are the fields due to the solenoid and the wire, respectively. The direction of Bs is along the axis of the solenoid, and the direction of Bw is perpendicular to it, so the two fields are perpendicular to each other, Bs Bw . For the net field B to be at 45 with the axis, we must have Bs = Bw. ANALYZE (a) Thus, Bs = Bw

(b) The magnetic field strength is B = 2 Bs = 2 ( 4107 T m A ) ( 20.0 103 A ) ( 10 turns 0.0100 m ) = 3.55 105 T. r LEARN In general, the angle B makes with the solenoid axis is give by B i / 2 d iw 1 = tan 1 w = tan 1 0 w = tan . Bs 0is n 2 d nis
