Formula and explanation
Formula: B = μ₀ n I Conditions: An infinitely long, tightly wound solenoid, in vacuum or air, carrying a steady current I. n is the number of turns per unit length. Explanation: The magnetic field inside an infinitely long, tightly wound solenoid is uniform, parallel to the axis, and its magnitude is proportional to the current I and the number of turns per unit length n. This is the theoretical basis for using solenoids to generate uniform magnetic fields.
