Magnetic field due to a straight current-carrying conductor
The magnetic field around a straight current-carrying conductor is circular.
The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current.
The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
The magnetic field lines are concentric circles centered on the conductor.
The strength of the magnetic field decreases as we move away from the conductor.
Magnetic field due to a circular loop
The magnetic field inside a circular loop carrying current is zero at the center.
The magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the loop and perpendicular to the axis of the loop.
The magnetic field lines are symmetrical and form concentric circles.
The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the radius of the loop.
The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
Magnetic field due to a solenoid
A solenoid is a long coil of wire wound in the form of a helix.
The magnetic field inside a solenoid is uniform and parallel to the axis.
The magnetic field outside the solenoid is insignificant.
The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is directly proportional to the current and the number of turns per unit length.
The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
Magnetic field due to a current-carrying wire
A current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field around it.
The magnetic field lines form concentric circles around the wire.
The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
The magnetic field at a point near the wire depends on the distance from the wire.
The strength of the magnetic field decreases as we move away from the wire.
Magnetic field due to a long straight wire
The magnetic field due to a long straight wire depends on the distance from the wire.
The magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance.
The magnetic field lines form concentric circles around the wire.
The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
The strength of the magnetic field decreases as we move away from the wire.
Magnetic field due to parallel current-carrying wires
Two parallel current-carrying wires produce magnetic fields that interact with each other.
The magnetic field lines around each wire are concentric circles.
When the currents flow in the same direction, the magnetic fields repel each other.
When the currents flow in opposite directions, the magnetic fields attract each other.
The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by each wire depends on the distance between the wires.
Magnetic field due to a loop carrying current
A loop carrying current produces a magnetic field within and around it.
The magnetic field inside the loop is zero at the center.

The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
Magnetic field due to a current-carrying coil
A current-carrying coil produces a magnetic field within and around it.
The magnetic field inside the coil is strong and uniform.
The magnetic field outside the coil is weak and negligible.
The magnetic field lines form concentric circles within the coil.
The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current and the number of turns in the coil.
Magnetic field due to a solenoid
A solenoid is a tightly wound coil of wire.
The magnetic field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform.
The magnetic field outside the solenoid is weak and negligible.
The magnetic field lines are parallel to the axis of the solenoid.
