Question

For a current in a long straight solenoid, N-pole and S-pole are created at the two ends. Among the following statements, the incorrect statement is ____________.

Options

• The field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of straight lines which indicates that the magnetic field is the same at all points inside the solenoid.

• The strong magnetic field produced inside the solenoid can be used to magnetize a piece of a magnetic material like soft iron when placed inside the coil.

• The pattern of the magnetic field associated with the solenoid is different from the pattern of the magnetic field around a bar magnet.

• The N-pole and S-pole exchange position when the direction of current through the solenoid is reversed.

Answer 1

For a current in a long straight solenoid, N-pole and S-pole 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:

A solenoid works similarly to a bar magnet. As a result, the magnetic field pattern associated with the solenoid and around the bar magnet is identical.
