Homework Statement
find |B| at the center
of a rectangular loop of wire of sides a and b carrying current I
Homework Equations
B = uI/2piR
The Attempt at a Solution
- current flowing counterclockwise
- original art work :D
I did the proof for biot savart law as a homework problem, and I got B = uI/2piR for straight wire, but the proof I used was based of positive and negative infinity for bounds of the integral. I was wondering however, if the same formula (B = uI/2piR ) could be used to tackle the above problem like this
B = 2(uI/2pi(b/2)) + 2(uI/2pi(a/2))
of course I can do simplification on my own, but I am curious if this is the correct route?
