Two long coaxial insulated solenoids, S1 and S2 of equal lengths are wound one over the other, as shown in the figure. A steady current "I"" flows through the inner solenoid S1 to the other end B, which is connected to the outer solenoid S2 through which the same current "I"" flows in the opposite direction so as to come out at end A. If n1 and n2 are the number of turns per unit length, find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at a point outside the combined system.
