Amperian loop to measure solenoid's magnetic field

My textbook proves the formula \$B =\mu_0In \$ for a solenoid by taking a rectangular Amperian loop as shown here: The problem I see with this though is that it only takes into account the ...

Differences between a planar coil and coplanar waveguide to create a local 1D AC magnetic field

Coplanar waveguides (for example picture look here) are often used in research to create a local in-plane magnetic field. Now if compared to a planar microcoil like this, driven by a AC voltage in ...

Do diamagnetic material exhibit induction?

Silly question perhaps, but do metals with the property of diamagnetism also exhibit inductance? Would a fluctuating magnetic field induce a current in a diamagnetic metal?
