    Magnetic Field

    due to
    a Current-
    Carrying Wire

    Biot-Savart Law

    Hans Christian Oersted, 1820


    Electricity and Magnetism
    Charge at rest  electric field
    Charge in motion  magnetic field
    • Magnetic fields are caused by currents.
    • Hans Christian Oersted in 1820’s showed that
    a current carrying wire deflects a compass.

    Magnetic Fields of Long Current-Carrying Wires

    B = o I
    2r I
    I = current through the wire (Amps)
    r = distance from the wire (m)
    o = permeability of free space
    = 4 x 10-7 T m / A
    B = magnetic field strength (Tesla)
    Right Hand Curl Rule
    Right hand rule # 1
    If straight wire is grasped with the right
    hand, with the thumb pointing in the
    direction of current, fingers will purl in
    direction of magnetic field.

    A long, straight cable in an industrial power plant carries a
    direct current of 100A. Calculate the strength of the
    resulting magnetic field at a perpendicular distance of 0.06
    m from this cable.
    A straight wire in an electrical circuit carries a direct
    current of 𝐼A. The resulting magnetic field at a
    perpendicular distance of 18 mm from this wire is
    measured to be 1.2×10-4T. Calculate 𝐼 to the
    nearest ampere.
    •What is the magnitude of the magnetic
    field at
    the center of a loop of radius R, carrying
    current I?
    •To calculate the magnetic field at the center,
    we must use the Biot-Savart Law
    •Two nice things about calculating B at the
    center of the loop
    •I is always perpendicular to r
    •r is a constant (R)

    Example 7:

    When the current through a circular loop is 6.0 A, the magnetic field at its center is 2.0×10^−4 T.
    What is the radius of the loop? (Ans: 0.019 m)
    Section 2 Magnetism from
    Chapter 19 Electricity

    Magnetic Field of a
    Solenoids produce a strong magnetic field
    by combiningCurrent Loop
    several loops.
    A solenoid is a long, helically wound coil of
    insulated wire.
    - The magnetic field inside the solenoid is
    strong and nearly uniform
    - The magnetic field lines resemble those of
    a bar magnet , so a solenoid effectively has
    north and south poles
    Example 1:
    Example 2:
    Example 3:
    What happens to the length of a suspended spring when a current passes through it?

    The spring reduces in length since each coil with have a north pole-produced
    magnetic field next to a south pole of the next coil.
    Example 6:

    How many turns must be wound on a flat, circular coil of radius 20 cm in order to produce a magnetic field of
    magnitude 4.0×10^−5T at the center of the coil when the current through it is 0.85 A?
    Example 7:

    A flat, circular loop has 20 turns. The radius of the loop is 10.0 cm and the current through the wire is
    0.50 A. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the loop
    (6.28×10−5T)
    Example 8:

    A solenoid has 300 turns wound around a cylinder of diameter 1.20 cm and length 14.0
    cm. If the current through the coils is 0.410 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic
    field inside and near the middle of the solenoid?
