Figure 29-30 shows four circular Amperian loops (a, b, c, d) concentric with a wire whose current is directed out of the page. The current is uniform across the wire’s circular cross section (the shaded region). Rank the loops according to the magnitude of ∮B→.ds→around each, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ranking of the loops according to the magnitude of∮B→.ds→around each is,

.c=0>0>a

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  • Figure showing four circular Amperian loops.
  • The current is uniform across the wire’s circular cross-section.
02

Determining the concept

Using Ampere’s law, rank theloops according to the magnitude ofaround each.

The formula is as follows:

∮B→.ds→=μ0ienc

Where, B→is the magnetic field,

ds→is the infinitesimal segment of the integration path,

μ0is the empty's permeability,
localid="1662742639512" ienc
is the enclosed electric current by the path.

03

Determining the rank of the loops according to the magnitude of  around each.

According to Ampere’s law,

∮B→.ds→=μ0ienc

From the given figure, it can interpret that,

ienc,c=ienc,d

Also,

ienc,b>ienc,a

And,

ienc,c>ienc,b

(Since the area enclosed by loop b is greater than that by loop a and the area enclosed by loop c is greater than that by b.)

Hence, the ranking of the loops according to the magnitude ofeach is,c=0>0>a

Ampere’s law gives the relation between magnetic flux and current enclosed by the loop.
