Comment:

The graph show that the magnetic field inside a solenoid depends on the position of the probe
inside. The magnitude of the magnetic field increase from x=0 to x=3, and then stable until x=25,
then decrease with exact the same pace as it increase. The graph is symmetric around the point x=16
(cm).

Comment:

The graph shows that the magnitude of the magnetic field and the voltage has a linear relationship.
But in this case, the resistance is unchanged, so the current also has linear relationship with the
voltage. So, we can see that relationship between the magnetic field and the applied current is also
linear
