    1) An 8 cm by 12 cm rectangular loop of wire sits in the x-y plane with its center at the origin and long sides parallel to the x-axis. A 50 A current flows clockwise through the loop as viewed from above. 2) The magnetic field is calculated at the center of the loop using the Biot-Savart law and summing the contributions from each segment of the loop. 3) The total magnetic field at the center is -0.60 mT in the -z direction.

    Problem 5.

    7 An 8 cm 12 cm rectangular loop of wire is situated in the xy plane with the center of the loop at the origin and its long sides parallel to the x-axis. The loop has a current of 50 A owing clockwise (when viewed from above). Determine the magnetic eld at the center of the loop. Solution: The total magnetic eld is the vector sum of the individual elds of each of the four wire segments: B = B1 + B2 + B3 + B4 . An expression for the magnetic eld from a wire segment is given by Eq. (5.29). For all segments shown in Fig. P5.7, the

    combination of the direction of the current and the right-hand rule gives the direction of the magnetic eld as z direction at the origin. With r = 6 cm and l = 8 cm, B1 = z

    For segment 2, r = 4 cm and l = 12 cm, B2 = z

    Similarly,

    (T).

    9.24 105 B3 = z

    (T).

    0.60 (mT). The total eld is then B = B1 + B2 + B3 + B4 = z
