Therefore, outside of the coil the vector of magnetic field points in the opposite direction to the field inside of the coil, but along closed contour of imaginary [[magnetic field lines]], which themselves have no beginning or end (because of the non-existence of [[magnetic monopoles]]). | Therefore, outside of the coil the vector of magnetic field points in the opposite direction to the field inside of the coil, but along closed contour of imaginary [[magnetic field lines]], which themselves have no beginning or end (because of the non-existence of [[magnetic monopoles]]). | ||
