Magnetic pressure in an 'ideal' air cored solenoid:

We will use the following:
F = M Vsqrd / r
E = M Csqrd
Sa = 2pi r h
Eb = 1/2 L Isqrd
L = u Nsqrd Area / h
C = 1/sqrt(u e)
W = 2pi r N (wire length)
B = (u Io N) / h = (u W Io) / Sa (Where I total = Io N)
First we will multiply the numerator and denominator of L by
4pi.andregroup. We will also use the fact that C = 1 / sqrt( u e)
Then equivalently we can express L as:
L = ((2pi r N)/ C) sqrd 1/ (4pi e h)
Recognizing that (2pi r N) = wire length (labeled W)
L = ( W/C)sqrd 1/ (4pi e h)
We will now assume that waves of energy are traveling at C down the entire
length of wire in an inductor and proceed.
We can describe the magnetic energy of the inductor as: Eb = 1/2 L Isqrd
Conservation principles demand that the energy contained by the magnetic
fields must be equal to the energy of the currents Ei within the inductor.
Thus the total energy equals: Eb + Ei Then: Etotal = L Isqrd
We are describing waves of energy traveling at C down the entire length of
wire in an inductor. Their must be a mass associated with this energy: E/
Csqrd = M
The mass does not travel in a straight line but must follow a circular path.
A force is required to change the direction of this mass.
We can use Newton's shell theorem to demonstrate that the entire mass
distribution can be considered at a single point.
Then:
F = M Vsqrd / r
Substituting we get: F = E / Csqrd Vsqrd / r
Since we have assumed that V = C, it cancels leaving:
F = E / r or F = L Isqrd / r
Since:
Pressure = Force / Surface area:
Magnetic pressure = (L Isqrd) / ( 2pi (r)sqrd h)
Substituting in L and solving we get:
Magnetic pressure = 1/2e [ W I / C Sa ]sqrd
After reducing this yields: u /2 (N/h)sqrd Isqrd
Classic equation: Magnetic pressure = Bsqrd / 2u.
After reducing this also yields: u /2 (N/h)sqrd Isqrd
The forms are equivalent.
