Two coaxial solenoids of different radii carry current I in the same direction. Let stack straight F subscript 1 with rightwards arrow on top be the magnetic force on the inner solenoid due to the outer one and stack straight F subscript 2 with rightwards arrow on top be the magnetic force on the outer solenoid due to the inner one. Then:

  • stack straight F subscript 1 space with rightwards arrow on top equals stack straight F subscript 2 space with rightwards arrow on top equals space 0
  • stack straight F subscript 1 with rightwards arrow on top is radially inwards and stack straight F subscript 2 with rightwards arrow on top is radially outwards
  • stack straight F subscript 1 with rightwards arrow on top is radially inwards and stack straight F subscript 2 with rightwards arrow on top =0
  • stack straight F subscript 1 with rightwards arrow on top is radially inwards and stack straight F subscript 2 with rightwards arrow on top =0
