How is the Magnetic Field Expression Derived in This Coil Configuration?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation of the magnetic field expression for a current loop in a specific coil configuration. The magnetic field at a point along the axis of symmetry is derived using the Biot-Savart law, where the expression incorporates a sine function due to cylindrical symmetry. The participants clarify that the square root in the denominator arises from applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance from the current loop. The formula for the magnetic field inside a coil is also mentioned as B = μ₀NI/l.

i can't understand how they got the first expression

in a normal coil the distance is r
but here they have a root in the denominator
like they used Pythagorean theorem and multiplying by sinus

and i can't understand where they do it here in order to get the
field expression
??

The first expression is the magnetic field due to a current loop of current NI, radius R1 at a point on the axis of symmetry a distance x from the centre. (That is, because the solenoid is so far away we treat it just as a current loop). You can calculate this directly from the Biot-Savart law.

I can't quite follow what you're saying, but you are right in that the square root comes from a sine; by (cylindrical) symmetry the only component of the field that isn't canceled acts along the axis of symmetry. So we just take this component to get the sine.

(Have a look in your textbook for the magnetic field due to a current loop for the details).
 
i have this formula for a magnetic inside a coil

[tex] B=\frac{\mu _0NI}{l}[/tex]

this is a cross section of the system.
to have a mutual induction
i would need to have some current in one of the wires

i don't have it here
