  2. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    An infinite solenoid has infinite length but finite diameter. "Continuous" means that the solenoid is not formed by discrete finite-width coils but by many infinitely thin coils with no space between them; in this abstraction, the solenoid is often viewed as a cylindrical sheet of conductive material.

  3. Oersted - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted

    The H-field strength inside a long solenoid wound with 79.58 turns per meter of a wire carrying 1 A is approximately 1 oersted. The preceding statement is exactly correct if the solenoid considered is infinite in length with the current evenly distributed over its surface.

    length: meter (m) ℓ: azimuthal quantum number: unitless magnetization: ampere per meter (A/m) moment of force often simply called moment or torque newton meter (N⋅m) mass: kilogram (kg) normal vector unit varies depending on context atomic number

  5. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    It is a proportionality constant that depends on the geometry of circuit conductors (e.g., cross-section area and length) and the magnetic permeability of the conductor and nearby materials. [1] An electronic component designed to add inductance to a circuit is called an inductor. It typically consists of a coil or helix of wire.

  6. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    Without power, the plunger extends for part of its length outside the coil; applying power pulls the plunger into the coil. Electromagnets with fixed cores are not considered solenoids. In simple terms, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work. Typically, it has a multiturn coil of magnet wire surrounded by a frame, which is ...

  7. Henry (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_(unit)

    The henry (symbol: H) is the unit of electrical inductance in the International System of Units (SI). [1] If a current of 1 ampere flowing through a coil produces flux linkage of 1 weber turn, that coil has a self-inductance of 1 henry.‌ The unit is named after Joseph Henry (1797–1878), the American scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction independently of and at about the same ...

  8. Solenoidal vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoidal_vector_field

    An example of a solenoidal vector field, (,) = (,) In vector calculus a solenoidal vector field (also known as an incompressible vector field, a divergence-free vector field, or a transverse vector field) is a vector field v with divergence zero at all points in the field: =

  9. Infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity

    In the 17th century, with the introduction of the infinity symbol [1] and the infinitesimal calculus, mathematicians began to work with infinite series and what some mathematicians (including l'Hôpital and Bernoulli) [2] regarded as infinitely small quantities, but infinity continued to be associated with endless processes.
