By symmetry, thej loops to the left of z0 give the same contribution, so
B = B l + Br = μ0NI
H = NI
By symmetry, B⃗ is directed along the z axis, so
δφm = −δρ⃗ ⋅ B⃗ = 0
if δρ⃗ is directed ⊥ to the z axis. Thus for a given z, φm is independent of ρ, and consequently
H = NI
everywhere within the solenoid.
If you are on the outside of the solenoid at position z0, by symmetry the magnetic field must be in
the z direction. Thus using the above argument, φm must not depend on ρ. Set us take ρ far away
from the axis of the solenoid, so that we can replace the loops by elementary dipoles m⃗ directed along
the z axis. Thus for any point z0 we will have a contributions

where m⃗ ⋅ r⃗1 = −m⃗ ⋅ r⃗2 and r1 = r2. Thus
