Solenoid

A solenoid is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire whose length is substantially greater than its diameter, which generates a controlled magnetic field.

We can use the approximation that each loop in a solenoid is just a circle.

Each loop generates a current

We apply Ampere’s Law, the magnetic field is given by
