[QUOTE="22990atinesh, post: 4741809, member: 507115"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Calculate the magnetic field at point O for the current-carrying wire segment shown in Figure. The wire consists of two straight portions and a circular arc of radius R, which subtends an angle Ɵ. The arrowheads on the wire indicate the direction of the current(Biot–Savart Law). [ATTACH=full]169763[/ATTACH] [b]2. The attempt at a solution[/b] ##dB = \frac {μ I}{4π} \frac {ds}{R^2}## - I ##B = \frac {μ I}{4π R^2} \int ds = \frac {μ I}{4π R^2} s = \frac {μ I}{4π R} Θ## Since s=RΘ I'm little bit confused in the calcualtion of ds in equation I. ##|\vec {ds} \times \hat r| = |\vec {ds}|.1.sin 90^o = ds## Does ds here represent the magnitude of the vector perpendicular to the vector ##\vec {ds}## and ##\hat r## or it represents the magnitude of orginal vector ##\vec {ds}##.
