Understanding the concept of magnetic field and Ampere’s law

The relation between current and current density is,

i=∫JdA

Ampere’s law states that,

∮B→⋅ds→=μ0i

The line integral in this equation is evaluated around a closed-loop called an Amperian loop.The current ion the right side is the net current encircled by the loop.

By using the current density equation in Ampere’s law and integrating it with respect to distance r, we can get the general equation for the magnetic field due to the current-carrying cylindrical wire. By using this, we can find the value of the magnetic field at given distances.

Explanation

According to Ampere’s law,

∮B→⋅ds→=μ0iencB∮ds=μ0ienc

Since∮ds=lengthofthecircularpath=2Ï€°ù

∴B(2Ï€°ù)=μ0ienc (i)

Current is given by,

ienc=∫JdA

Using the given current density J=J0ra

ienc=∫J0radA

Area of a differential element of the circle isdA=2Ï€°ùdr

ienc=∫J0ra2Ï€°ùdr=2Ï€´³0a∫r2dr=2Ï€´³0ar33

Using this in equation (i),

B(2Ï€°ù)=μ02Ï€´³0ar33

Therefore,

B=μ0J03r2a (ii)

04

(a) Calculations of the magnitude of magnetic field at r=0

At r=0, Equation (ii) becomes,

B=μ0J03×0a=0

Thus, the magnetic field at r=0 is zero.

05

(b) Calculations of the magnitude of magnetic field at r=a/2

Atr=a2,Equation2becomes

B=μ0J03×(a2)2aB=μ0J0a12=4π×10-7×310×0.003112=4×3.14×10-7×310×0.003112=0.1×10-6T=0.10μ°Õ

Thus, The magnetic field at r=a2 is B=0.10μ°Õ

06

(c) Calculations of the magnitude of magnetic field at r=a 

Atr=a,Equation(2)becomes

B=μ0J03×a2a=μ0J0a3=4π×10-7×310×0.00313=4×3.14×10-7×310×0.00313=4.02×10-7T=0.40μ°Õ

Thus, the magnetic field at r=a is B=0.40μ°Õ.
