Is the magnetic field outside a solenoid almost null for AC current?

Despite an answer to this thread, I'm not so sure the magnetic flux outside an infinite ideal solenoid is null whenever the current is AC. I've seen no real proof of that, and the Biot-Savart law ...

Apparent contradiction in Ampere law for a solenoid

This picture in Wikipedia is supposed to explain the solenoid formula for the magnetic field $$B l= \mu_0 N I$$ (assuming steady currents). But this would be true if one consider only the part of the ...
