Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the magnetic field at a point due to a long straight current-carrying conductor using Biot-Savart Law?
  • Step 1: Understand that a long straight conductor carries an electric current (I).
  • Step 2: Know that the magnetic field (B) is created around the conductor due to this current.
  • Step 3: Recall the Biot-Savart Law, which helps us calculate the magnetic field due to a current-carrying conductor.
  • Step 4: Identify the distance (r) from the conductor where you want to find the magnetic field.
  • Step 5: Use the formula from the Biot-Savart Law: B = μ₀I/(2πr).
  • Step 6: In the formula, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and r is the distance from the conductor.
  • Step 7: Plug in the values of I and r into the formula to calculate the magnetic field B.
