I’m making a solenoid and I’m trying to work out how much force it exerts on an object X meters away from it. I’m using F=BIL to get the force but I don’t know the equation for getting the magnetic flux density of the solenoid other than B=(uNI)/L but that’s just for the centre and I need it for outside the solenoid but in line for the object to get pulled towards one of the poles.
Although I’m not sure if B=(uNI)/L is the right equation because the L in that and the L in F=BIL will cancel out when putting them together and it doesn't make sense if the length of the solenoid has no effect on the force it exerts.
