Solenoid Magnetic Field Calculator

B = μ₀ μᵣ N I / l

How to Use This Calculator

Enter turns, length, current, and relative permeability, then calculate.

Formula

B = μ0 μr N I / l

Assumes a long solenoid with uniform internal field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is B measured?

At the center along the axis of a long solenoid.

Does core saturation matter?

At high B, ferromagnetic cores saturate, reducing μᵣ and B from this estimate.
