Field at a distance 'z' from a solenoid

[Dell]

given a long solenoid, with a radius of R (R<<L), a current of I flows throught it. find the magnetic field at point A which is located at a distance of R from the solenoid on the solenoids line of symetry.

HOW DO I DO THIS??

the only thing i see that i think i need to do here is somehow use either biot savar or more likely ampere and solve it, but how?
the only problems i have had with solenoid were to find the field inside of it in which case i took a closed loop integral and used amperes law to get B=μNI/L=μnI

what i think i need to do(but have not managed) is use biot savar, and say that the total field can only be on the 'z' axis, along the centre of the the solenoid- since the rest cancel out due to symetry,

db=(μi/4pi)*dl/L^2
using pythagarus +++> L=sqrt(r^2+Z^2) while z is constant and r goes from 0 to R

z=R

after my integration i get (μi/sqrt(32)pi)*1/R^2

 

[Dell]

what i have been told i need to do is 2 integrations, one over one coil and the second over the distance, from R to infinity, taking inot account the contributions from all the coils,

but i have not managed to get this integration right,,,

To find the magnetic field at point A, you can use the Biot-Savart law, which states that the magnetic field at a point due to a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current, the length of the wire, and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. In this case, the wire is a long solenoid, and the point A is located at a distance R from the solenoid's axis of symmetry.

Using the Biot-Savart law, you can calculate the magnetic field at point A by integrating the contributions of all the small segments of the solenoid. Since the solenoid is long and thin (R<<L), we can assume that the magnetic field at point A is only along the z-axis and is constant along the length of the solenoid.

Therefore, the magnetic field at point A can be calculated as:

B = μ0 * (I * N) / (2 * R)

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space, I is the current flowing through the solenoid, N is the number of turns in the solenoid, and R is the distance from the solenoid's axis of symmetry to point A.

In this case, N = L / dl, where L is the length of the solenoid and dl is the length of each small segment of the solenoid. Substituting this into the equation, we get:

B = μ0 * (I * L / dl) / (2 * R)

Since dl is very small, we can assume that dl = dr, where dr is the radius of each small segment of the solenoid. Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as:

B = μ0 * (I * L / dr) / (2 * R)

Since R = dr, we can further simplify the equation to:

B = μ0 * (I * L) / (2 * R^2)

Substituting L = μ0 * N * I, we finally get:

B = μ0 * (N * I)^2 / (2 * R^2)

Therefore, the magnetic field at point A is directly proportional to the square of the number of turns in the solenoid and the square of the current flowing through it, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the solenoid's axis of symmetry.
