Question
Write two differences between charge and mass.
✓
Answer
(1) Charge can be zero, positive or negative but mass is always positive.
(ii) Electric charge does not depend on the velocity of motion of the particle whereas mass also depends on the velocity of motion of the particle.

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is $\text{B}=\mu_0\text{ni}.$ It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
