Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

Consider an infinite solenoid with a rectangular cross section instead of a circular cross section. 1. The solenoid’s magnetic field must everywhere still point parallel to the solenoid’s central axis. 2. The solenoid’s magnetic field must still be zero everywhere outside the solenoid. 3. The solenoid’s magnetic field in the solenoid’s hollow interior must still have a uniform magnitude ? 0 (NI/L), where N is the number of turns in length L and I is the current carried by each turn
