Studying for a test, and can't figure out what the real answer is for this problem.
There is a long vertical straight wire carrying a current Io upward. Use ampere's law to determine an expression for the magnetic field at point "P" a distance x from the long straight current carrying wire.
Ampere's law: B =[tex]\mu[/tex]oIo / 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r
Bp = [tex]\mu[/tex]oIo / 2[tex]\pi[/tex]x
Obviously not the right answer but I do not understand this stuff at all. Please explain? Thank you very much
