  • Characteristic of magnetic field inside a solenoid
    Magnetic field is approximately constant over the inner volume of the solenoid.
  • Force per unit length between two current-carrying wires
    Force per length is \(\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi r}\), where r is distance between wires.
  • When do two parallel current-carrying wires attract or repel?
    Wires attract if currents flow in the same direction; repel if currents flow in opposite directions.
  • Ampere's Law equation
    Ampere's Law is \(\oint \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = \mu_0 I_{\text{enclosed}}\).
