    Study Notes

    Magnetic Field at Center of Current Carrying Structure

    • The magnetic field at the center (O) of a structure carrying 10 Amp is 0.43 Gauss.
    • The magnetic field intensity at position O due to the current carrying wire with 5 Amp is half of the magnetic field at the center (O) of the structure carrying 10 Amp.
    • The magnetic field at the center of the current carrying structure is 0.215 Gauss.

    Magnetic Field of a Polygon Loop

    • The magnetic field B due to an n-sided polygon loop is calculated using the formula: B = (μ₀ * I * n) / (2 * π * R)
    • Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current, n is the number of sides, and R is the radius of the polygon.

    Magnetic Field Inside a Solenoid

    • The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is uniform.
    • The magnetic field vector B has circulation or vorticity associated with it, which is indicated by the curl of the magnetic field vector B.
    • The magnetic field inside a solenoid can be represented by the formula: B = μ₀ * n * I
    • Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, n is the number of turns per unit length, and I is the current.

    Magnetic Field Units and Constants

    • The SI unit of magnetic field (B) is Tesla (T).
    • The Biot-Savart law can be used to calculate the magnetic field of a steady line current.
    • The relationship between Tesla (T) and Gauss is: 1 Tesla = 10,000 Gauss.
    • The permeability of free space is denoted as μ₀ and its value is 4π × 10^-7 H/m.

    Magnetic Field Due to a Current Carrying Loop

    • The expression for the magnetic field due to one side of a current carrying loop where s = R is: B = (μ₀ * I) / (4π * R) * (θ1 - θ2)
    • As n approaches infinity, the expression for magnetic field approaches that of a circular loop.

    Magnetic Field Due to an Infinite Wire

    • In the case of an infinite wire, the value of θ1 and θ2 is 0 and π respectively.
    • The expression for the magnetic field due to an infinite wire is: B = (μ₀ * I) / (2π * r)
    • Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and r is the distance from the wire.
