Short Answer

The value of magnetic field reduces to the field due to a dipole, when is z≫ӬisB=μ0m2Ï€³ú3zÁåœ .

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

TheÓ¬ is the side of square loop.

Thez is the distance above the center of square loop.

TheI is current through loop.

Theθ1 is the angle made by initial point of the side with the normal.

Theθ2 is the angle made by end point of the side.

02

Determine the formula of magnetic field reduces to the field due to a dipole.

Write the formula ofmagnetic field reduces to the field due to a dipole.

B=μ0I2Ï€Ó¬2z3zÁåœ â€¦â€¦ (1)

Here,μ0 is permeability, Ӭis the side of square loop,z is the distance above the center of square loop and role="math" localid="1657686397925" Iis current through loop.

03

Determine the value of magnetic field reduces to the field due to a dipole.

Draw the circuit diagram for given provided condition.

Consider a pointPat a distancezabove the center of the square loop.

θ1andθ2signs will be the opposite since they are rotating in the opposite directions with respect to the usual vertical line. Therefore,

-sinθ1=sinθ2

Magnetic field atPdue to one side of square loop is,

role="math" localid="1657686862591" B1=μ0I4Ï€³§sinθ2-sinθ1

Here, Iis the current flowing through the loop and Sis the distance of point from the side.

Substitute sinθ2for-sinθ1into above equation.

B1=2μ0Isinθ24Ï€³§

Refer to figure, Sis the hypotenuse, Ó¬2is the perpendicular and zis the base. So from Pythagoras theorem,

S=z2+Ó¬22

It is understood that the ratio of the perpendicular side to the hypotenuse is the sine of an angle. So,

role="math" localid="1657687065877" sin2=Ó¬2z2+Ó¬22

Substitute z2+Ӭ22for Sand Ӭ2z2+Ӭ22for sinθ2into equation (1).

B1=2μ0IӬ2z2+Ӭ224πz2+Ӭ22=μ0I4πӬz2+Ӭ22

Similarly, magnetic field atPdue to all the sides of square loop is,

B1=4μ0I4πӬz2+Ӭ22

From the figure, horizontal components of magnitude field will cancel each other.

Determine the vertical component of magnetic field at point P is,

B1ver=B1sinϕ …… (2)

Here,ϕis the angle formed by the line from a point P to the centre of a side and the normal on the plane of a square is such thatsinϕ=Ӭ2z2+Ӭ24

Substitute Ӭ2z2+Ӭ24for sinϕand 4μ0I4πӬz2+Ӭ22forB1into equation (2).

B1ver=4μ0I4πӬz2+Ӭ22Ӭ2z2+Ӭ24

Hence, magnetic field at point P isB=μ0I2Ï€Ó¬2z2+Ó¬2432zÁåœ

For z≫Ӭ, write the above equation as,

B=μ0I2Ï€Ó¬z3zÁåœ

Determine the value of magnetic field reduces to the field due to a dipole, when Ó¬is

Magnetic dipole moment is,

m=IA

Here, Ais the area of square loop.

Substitute Ó¬2for A(asÓ¬is the side of the square loop) into above equation.

m=IÓ¬2

Substitute mfor IÓ¬2into equation (1).

B=μ0m2Ï€³ú3zÁåœ

Hence, the value of magnetic field reduces to the field due to a dipole, when z≫Ӭis B=μ0m2Ï€³ú3zÁåœ.
