Homework Equations
B =( [tex]\mu[/tex] * i * [tex]\phi[/tex] ) / (2 * [tex]\pi[/tex] * R)
The Attempt at a Solution
i wanted to add one more equation, but I am having difficulty in writing them. whatever!
As you can see from the question there are 6 segments of current carrying wires.
For segment 1 which is labeled in the picture above, B = 0, because the wire goes directly towards the point.
For segment 2 (the semi-circular arc), the magnetic field is calculated using the equation above. where [tex]\phi[/tex] = [tex]\pi[/tex].
For segment 3, i calculated the B-field and i think its correct...it is 0.0000035969 Tesla.
For segment 4, the B-field is twice as much of segment 3.
the problem now is that i don't know how to calculate the field due to segments 5 and 6. I am not sure if they produce any magnetic field that act on point A.
so please if anyone could help as soon as possible.
thanks in advance
