A long solenoid of n turns per unit length has a current that slowly increases with time.

Question:

A long solenoid of n turns per unit length has a current that slowly increases with time. The solenoid has radius R, and the current in the windings has the form I(t) = at.

(a) Find the induced electric field at a distance r < R from the solenoid axis.

(b) Find the magnitude and direction of the Poynting vector S at the cylindrical surface r = R just inside the solenoid windings.

(c) Calculate the flux ∫Sn dA into the solenoid, and show that it equals the rate of increase of the magnetic energy inside the solenoid.
