Study Notes

Biot-Savart's Law

This law describes the magnetic field created by a current-carrying wire.
The equation helps to calculate the strength of the magnetic field at a specific point around the wire.
It states that the magnetic induction (B) is proportional to the current (I), the length of the wire element (dl), and the sine of the angle between the wire element and the line joining the wire element to the point.

Magnetic Induction Due to a Long Straight Wire

The magnetic induction (B) around a long straight wire is calculated using a specific formula.
It is inversely proportional to the distance (r) from the wire and directly proportional to the current (I).
The direction of magnetic induction is determined by the right-hand thumb rule.

Magnetic Induction at the Center of a Circular Arc

The magnetic induction at the center of a circular arc carrying a current (I) is determined using Biot-Savart's Law.
It depends on the angle (θ) subtended by the arc at its center, the radius (R) of the arc, and the current (I).
The magnetic induction is directed inwards according to the right-hand thumb rule.

Helmholtz Coils

These coils are a setup of two identical circular coils placed at a distance equal to their radius.
The magnetic field at the center of the coils is uniform, creating a constant magnetic field in the region between the coils.
This setup is useful for experiments in physics labs where a uniform magnetic field is required.
