A solenoid that has length 𝐿 and 𝑁 turns is connected to a battery that has emf V.What would happen to the magnetic flux density at its axis if we compressed the solenoid to decrease its length to half?

• The magnetic flux density would double.

• The magnetic flux density would stay the same.

• The magnetic flux density would halve.

• There is not enough information to determine the answer.
