Measurement of Magnetic Field Inside A Solenoid With Finite Length

The document reports on an experiment measuring the magnetic field inside a solenoid with finite length. It finds that the magnetic field depends on position inside the solenoid and increases towards the center, then decreases. It also finds a linear relationship between magnetic field and current. Experimental results match theoretical calculations closely.

- The statistics show that the magnetic field inside a solenoid depends on
the position of the probe inside. The magnitude of the magnetic field increase
from x = 0cm to x = 16cm, and then decrease with exact the same pace as it
increase to the end of the Table 1, x = 30cm.

2. Relationship between the magnetic field and the applied voltage:

- The statistics shows that the magnitude of the magnetic field and the
voltage has a linear relationship. But in this case, the resistance is
unchanged, so the current also has linear relationship with the voltage. So,
we can see that relationship between the magnetic field and the applied
current is also linear.

3. Comparison of experimental and theoretical magnetic field:

- The result from the experiment is approximately close the theoretical
values. The different due to the uncertainty of the instruments used.
