moving-charges-and-magnetism Question 9

Question: Q. 1. (i) State Biot-Savart’s law in vector form expressing the magnetic field due to an element dl carrying current I at a distance r from the element.

(ii) Write the expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre of a circular loop of radius r carrying a steady current I. Draw the field lines due to the current loop.

Solution:

Ans. (i) According to Biot-Savart’s law, the magnetic field due to a current element dl carrying current I at a point P with position vector r is given by

dB=μ04πI(dl×rr3)

(ii)

B=μ0I2r
