Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the magnetic field at the center of a circular loop of radius R carrying current I?
  • Step 1: Understand that a circular loop of wire carries an electric current (I).
  • Step 2: Recognize that the magnetic field (B) is created around the wire when current flows through it.
  • Step 3: Identify that we want to find the magnetic field specifically at the center of the circular loop.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for the magnetic field at the center of a circular loop, which is B = μ₀I/2R.
  • Step 5: In the formula, μ₀ is a constant called the permeability of free space, I is the current, and R is the radius of the loop.
  • Step 6: Plug in the values of I and R into the formula to calculate the magnetic field B.
