Solution

The correct option is A True
The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying solenoid is similar to the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet. The magnetic field lines inside a solenoid is straight and equally spaced. This indicates that the strength of the magnetic field inside a solenoid is the same at all the points.
