It is possible to make an inductor with a reasonably accurate inductance, by wrapping
magnet wire around a MacDonald’s straw.
How can this be done? What is the design rule?
Solution
First, you need some magnet wire and a straw from MacDonald’s. Magnet wire has a very thin insulating
jacking so more windings can be fit.

Recall the Biot‐Savart law which says the magnetic field will be perpendicular to the
current and the direction of the observation point.
Jdv aˆ R

1. Since the current is solely in the z direction, the
magnetic field cannot have a z component.
2. Due to symmetry, the magnetic
field will not have a component.
3. The magnetic field will be
oriented in the direction.
This is consistent with the
magnetic field circulating
around currents.
