For a current in a long straight solenoid N-pole and S-pole are created at the two ends. Among the following statements, the incorrect statement is [NCERT Exemplar Problems]
The field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of straight lines which indicates that the magnetic field is the same at all points inside the solenoid.
Incorrect AnswerThe strong magnetic field produced inside the solenoid can be used to magnetise a piece of magnetic material like soft iron, when placed inside the coil.
Incorrect AnswerThe pattern of the magnetic field associated with the solenoid is different from the pattern of the magnetic field around a bar magnet.
Correct AnswerThe N-pole and S-pole exchange position when the direction of current through the solenoid is reversed.
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
A solenoid behaves like a bar magnet. Hence the pattern of magnetic field associated with solenoid and around the bar magnet is same.
