Sources of Magnetic Fields
Magnetic fields arise from electric currents. Various configurations produce different field distributions. Below are important laws and applications.
The Biot–Savart Law gives the magnetic field due to a small current element at a point :
Vector form:
Definitions:
- : Permeability in a medium
For a coil of radius carrying current , the field at a point on its axis :
At center of loop:
For large distances:
Magnetic moment:
So the field becomes:
Definition of Ampere:
Application Steps:
- Check symmetry (cylindrical, toroidal, etc.)
- Use right-hand rule for
- Choose appropriate Amperian loop
- Evaluate
- Solve for
- Field inside a long solenoid
- Field inside a toroid
- Field around a straight conductor
| Situation | Magnetic Field |
|---|---|
| Center of Circular Coil | |
| On Axis of Coil (any point) | |
| Long Straight Conductor | |
| Between Two Wires | |
| Ampère's Law |
- Use Right-hand Grip Rule for magnetic field direction
- Use Fleming's Left Hand Rule for magnetic force direction
- Same direction currents → attract
- Opposite direction currents → repel
