Figure 29-81 shows a wire segment of length Δs=3cm, centered at the origin, carrying current i=2A in the positive ydirection (as part of some complete circuit). To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B→=μ04πiΔs→×r^r2 as the Biot–Savart law. This is because r and u are essentially constant over the segment. Calculate (in unit-vector notation) at the(x,y,z)coordinates (a)localid="1663057128028" (0,0,5m)(b)localid="1663057196663" (0,6m,0)(c) localid="1663057223833" (7m,7m,0)and (d)(-3m,-4m,0)

Understanding the concept of Biot-Savart law

An equation known as the Biot-Savart Law describes the magnetic field produced by a steady electric current. It connects the electric current's strength, direction, length, and proximity to the magnetic field.

Formula:

B→=μ04πi∆S→×r→r3

03

Calculate (in unit-vector notation) at the (x,y,z)   coordinates (a) (0, 0, 5 m)

In the figure, the co-ordinate axis is the center of the cylinder. By symmetry, we will get the same value of magnetic field if we take the cross-sectional area of the left or right side of the cylinder. We take the right side cross-sectional area of the cylinder.

Biot- Savart law can be written as-

B→=μ04πiΔs→×r^r2=μ04πiΔs→×r→r3

Δs→=Δsj^

r→=xi^+yj^+zk^

Δs→×r→=Δsj^×xi^+yj^+zk^

i^×j^=k^,j^×i^=-k^,j^×k^=i^,j^×j^=0

Δs→×r→=Δszi^-xk^

B→=μ04πiΔszi^-xk^(x2+y2+z2)32

(a) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at (0, 0, 5 m) coordinates.

The magnetic field at the point: 0,0,5m

Herex=0,y=0,z=5m

Substituting in 1) we get,

B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m5i^-0k^m4π(02+02+5m2)32B→=2.4×10-10Ti^

05

(b) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at (0, 6 m, 0) coordinates

The magnetic field at the point: 0,6m,0

Here x=0,y=6m,z=0

B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m0i^-0k^m4π(02+62+02)32m3B→=0

06

(c) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at (7 m, 7 m, 0) coordinates.

The magnetic field at the point 7m,7m,0:

Herelocalid="1663061755332" x=7m,y=7m,z=0

localid="1663060711200" B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m0i^-7k^m4π(72+72+02)32m3B→=-4.3×10-11Tk^

(d) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at  coordinates  (-3 m, -4 m, 0 ). 

The magnetic field at the point -3m,-4m,0:

Here , x=-3 m,y=-4m,z=0

B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m0i^+3k^m4π[-32+-42+02)]32m3B→=1.44×10-10Tk^

The current density J→ inside a long, solid, cylindrical wire of radius a=3.1mm is in the direction of the central axis, and its magnitude varies linearly with radial distance rfrom the axis according toJ=J0r/a, where J0=310A/m2.

A current is set up in a wire loop consisting of a semicircle of radius4.00cm,a smaller concentric semicircle, and tworadial straight lengths, all in the same plane. Figure 29-47ashows the arrangement but is not drawn to scale. The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the center of curvature is 47.25μ°Õ. The smaller semicircle is then flipped over (rotated) until the loop is again entirely in the same plane (Figure29-47 b).The magnetic field produced at the (same) center of curvature now has magnitude 15.75μ°Õ, and its direction is reversed. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle.
