Biot-Savart Law (infinite filament)

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnetic field intensity at point P(-1,3,2) using the Biot-Savart Law, the equation dH = I vec{dl} x vec{R} / 4piR^3 is established, where vec{R} is defined in terms of the coordinates. The cross product of vec{dl} and vec{R} yields components in the y and z directions. The magnitude of R is calculated using the distance formula, leading to a complex expression for dH. To proceed, the next step involves integrating each component of the magnetic field, although the integration process is noted to be complicated. The discussion highlights the need for assistance in performing these integrations.

An infinite current filament carries a current of 3A and lies along the x-axis. Using Biot-Savart Law, find the magnectic field intensity in cartesian coordinates at a point P(-1,3,2).

dH = I vec{dl} x hat{R} / 4piR^2

let substitude hat{R} with vec{R} / R

then dH = I vec{dl} x vec{R} / 4piR^3

vec{R} = hat{x}(-1-x) + hat{y}3 + hat{z}2 and vec{dl} = hat{x}dx

vec{dl} x vec{R} =
|hat{x} hat{y} hat{z}|
| 1 0 0 |
| (-1-x) 3 2 |

=[hat{y}-2 + hat{z}3] dx

dH = (I)(dx)(hat{y}-2 + hat{z}3) / 4piR^3

magnitude of R = sqrt [(-1-x)^2 + 3^2 + 2^2]

dH = (I)(dx)(hat{y}-2 + hat{z}3) / 4pi[(-1-x)^2 + 3^2 + 2^2]^3/2

how do I solve for the next step? thanks!

You should integrate each component of the field.
 
I don't know how to integral since it is very complicated.
 
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
