Show that the magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the center of a rectangular loop of wire of lengthLand widthW, carrying a current i, is

B=2μ0iπ·(L2+W2)12LW

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net magnetic field at the center of the rectangular loop of wire isB=2μ0iπ·L2+W212LW.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  • The length of the rectangular loop is L.
  • The width of therectangularloop isW.
  • Current through the rectangular loop is i.
02

Understanding the concept

For this problem, we will use the equation for the magnetic field due to a finite wire of length L, carrying current i, at a point and distance R from the wire. The direction of the magnetic field will depend on the direction of the current. We can determine the direction by the right-hand thumb rule.

Formula:

Bp=μ0i4πR·lL2+R212

03

Calculate the net magnetic field at the center of a rectangular loop of wire

We break the rectangular wire loop into eight parts, as shown in the figure. By numbering them, we will find the magnetic field due to each part at the center of the loop.

Due to part 1, the magnetic field is,

B1=μ0i4πL2·W2W42+L4212=μ0i2πL·WW2+L212

Due to part 2, the magnetic field is,

B2=μ0i4πL2·W2W42+L4212=μ0i2πL·WW2+L212

.

Due to part 3, the magnetic field is,

B3=μ0i4πW2·L2W42+L4212=μ0i2πW·LW2+L212

Due to part 4, the magnetic field is,

B4=μ0i4πW2·L2W42+L4212=μ0i2πW·LW2+L212

Due to part 5, the magnetic field is,

B5=μ0i4πL2·W2W42+L4212=μ0i2πL·WW2+L212

Due to part 6, the magnetic field is,

B6=μ0i4πL2·W2W42+L4212=μ0i2πL·WW2+L212

Due to part 7, the magnetic field is,

B7=μ0i4πW2·L2W42+L4212=μ0i2πW·LW2+L212

Due to part 8, the magnetic field is,

B8=μ0i4πW2·L2W42+L4212=μ0i2πW·LW2+L212

The net magnetic field at point C then becomes,

B=B1+B2+B3+B4+B5+B6+B7+B8

B=2μ0i2πL·WW2+L212+2μ0i2πW·LW2+L212+2μ0i2πL·WW2+L212+2μ0i2πW·LW2+L212B=μ0iπ·WLW2+L212+WLW2+L212+LWW2+L212+LWW2+L212B=μ0iπ·2WLW2+L212+2LWW2+L212B=2μ0iπ·1W2+L212WL+LWB=2μ0iπ·L2+W212LW

Hence, it is proved that.
