contents The scattering of a nonrelativistic electron on a narrow solenoid of finite length is considered. In this case, the magnetic field outside the solenoid is not zero. Using the eikonal approximation, the differential and total cross sections of the process are found. It is shown that the total cross section is finite, in contrast to the case of scattering on an infinitely long solenoid (Aharonov-Bohm effect). An asymmetry in the scattering cross section is also found, which can be observed in an experiment.
