For a current in a long straight solenoid, North and South poles are created at the two ends. Among the following statements, the incorrect statement is: The pattern of the magnetic field associated with the solenoid is different from the pattern of the magnetic field around a bar magnet 

 

Explanation: Magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are denser compared to those outside the solenoid. Also, the field lines are closed, similar to the bar magnet. Hence the pattern of the magnetic field associated with a solenoid is the same as the pattern of the magnetic field around a bar magnet.
