The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of the magnetic field inside a solenoid, we can analyze the relationship between the magnetic field (B), the current (I), and the number of turns per unit length (n) of the solenoid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Solenoid**: A solenoid is a long coil of wire that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is uniform and directed along the axis of the solenoid. 2. **Formula for Magnetic Field**: The magnetic field (B) inside a solenoid can be expressed using the formula: \[ B = \mu_0 \cdot n \cdot I \] where: - \(B\) is the magnetic field inside the solenoid, - \(\mu_0\) is the permeability of free space (a constant), - \(n\) is the number of turns per unit length of the solenoid, - \(I\) is the current flowing through the solenoid. 3. **Analyzing the Formula**: - From the formula, we see that the magnetic field \(B\) is directly proportional to the current \(I\). This means that as the current increases, the magnetic field strength also increases. - The magnetic field \(B\) is directly proportional to the number of turns per unit length \(n\). More turns per unit length result in a stronger magnetic field. - The magnetic field \(B\) is not dependent on the total length of the solenoid or inversely proportional to the number of turns or current. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the magnetic field inside a solenoid is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. ### Answer: The magnetic field inside a solenoid is directly proportional to the current.
