Electromagnetic field profile around a closed loop

In summary, the electromagnetic field profile around a closed loop is a representation of the magnetic and electric fields surrounding a current-carrying loop of wire. The field consists of concentric circles that become weaker as distance from the loop increases. The strength of the field is affected by the current, loop shape and size, and the distance from the loop. The field is strongest near the loop and decreases as the distance from the loop increases. Additionally, the direction of the field changes depending on the direction of the current flow in the loop. This phenomenon has various applications in electrical engineering and physics.

Is there a way to determine the profile of the field around a charged closed loop - particularly on the direction normal to the plane of the loop, both front and back?
For generic values of V, I, B, H, etc., and any dimensions of the loop, any particular formulae possible to obtain?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, of course. Expressions for the fields of the circular loop on central axis points can be easily derived. See:

General fields at any point in space are way more difficult to determine and they involve elliptic integrals and numerical methods.

What is an electromagnetic field?

An electromagnetic field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects that affects the behavior of charged particles within its vicinity.

What is a closed loop?

A closed loop, also known as a closed circuit, is a path in which an electric current can flow continuously without interruption.

How is the electromagnetic field profile around a closed loop determined?

The electromagnetic field profile around a closed loop is determined by the shape and size of the loop, the amount of current flowing through it, and the distance from the loop to the point where the field is being measured.

What factors can affect the strength of the electromagnetic field around a closed loop?

The strength of the electromagnetic field around a closed loop can be affected by the amount of current flowing through the loop, the distance from the loop, the material of the loop, and any external magnetic fields that may be present.

How is the direction of the electromagnetic field around a closed loop determined?

The direction of the electromagnetic field around a closed loop is determined by the right-hand rule, which states that if you point your right thumb in the direction of the current, then your fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field.
