Official answer
A solenoid is a coil of many circular turns of insulated copper wire wrapped closely in the shape of a cylinder.
A solenoid behaves as a magnet when a current flows through it.
The pattern of the magnetic field produced inside it showing the directions of the magnetic field lines is as follows:
Analysis and explanation
A solenoid is a coil of many circular turns of insulated copper wire wrapped closely in the shape of a cylinder.
When a current flows through the solenoid, it behaves as a magnet.
The magnetic field produced inside the solenoid is uniform and the directions of the magnetic field lines are from the south pole to the north pole.
