Question Image

A solenoid is an electromagnet that creates a regulated magnetic field by winding a coil into a closely packed helix.

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by:

B=μ0NI 

Here N is the number of turns per unit length, I is current in the solenoid and μ0 is the permeability of free space.

From the formula, we can say that the solenoid's magnetic field is proportional to the supplied current and the number of turns per unit length. But the magnetic field inside a solenoid is not affected by its radius.
