The Solenoid (Physics of Technology Series)

A module on electricity and magnetism. Reproduced with permission, Copyright 1975, AIP Publishing LLC. Also archived in their digital collections: http://repository.aip.org/ Coverage includes magnetic fields and flux, Faraday’s law, Ampere's law, the Biot-Savait law, and magnetic forces. The prerequisites, Ohm's law and simple DC circuits, can be met by completing THE MULTIMETER. Part of the Physics of Technology program, a 27-module introduction to physics at a pre-calculus level. The American Institute of Physics coordinated this program in the 1970s, with modules created by Florissant Valley Community College, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, the State University of New York at Binghamton, and TERC. From the Instructor’s Manual : The Solenoid module provides an introduction to the study of magnetic fields, their production by electric currents, and the interaction between current-carrying wires and magnetic fields. The field of an iron bar permanent magnet and the field of currents flowing in a straight wire, a single loop , and a solenoid coil are studied. The force between two permanent magnets, the force felt by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, the torque f
