Solution

The correct option is D
The magnetic filed at a point inside the finite length solenoid is given by,

B=μ0ni2[cosθ1cosθ2]

For a point at the center of solenoid

θ1=0 and θ2=180

B=μ0ni2[cos 0cos 180]=μ0ni2[1(1)]

B=μ0ni

Thus, the magnetic field is maximum at center, and it will decrease symmetrically on both side of center.

The value of magnetic field drops significantly as the point moves further apart the half-length distance.

Hence, option (d) gives correct representation.
