A current i flows in an infinitely long wire


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 375 People


A CURRENT I FLOWS IN AN INFINITELY LONG WIRE WITH CROSS SECTION IN THE FORM OF A SEMICIRCULAR RING OF RADIUS R . THE MAGNITUDE OF THE MAGNETIC INDUCTION ALONG ITS AXIS IS

Answered by admin @



Let semicircular ring of radius R as shown in figure ,
An elementary length dl cut for finding magnetic field .so, dl = Rdθ
so, elementary current along dl is di = i/πR × Rdθ = idθ/π
Now, you can see that elementary part of length is perpendicular upon dB
so, dB = \bold{\frac{\mu_0di}{2\pi R}}
=\bold{\frac{\mu_0i}{2\pi^2R}}

Now, magnetic field along axis B =\bold{\int\limits^{\pi}_{0} {dB.sin\theta}\,d\theta} = 2dB
Now, put dB in here,
So, B = μ₀i/π²R
