Magnetic field inside square conductor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnetic field B inside a square conductor with a given side length. The user has derived a formula for the magnetic field at the center of the square but seeks to extend this calculation to any point (x, y) within the conductor. There is uncertainty about whether this topic is too advanced for the current forum section, suggesting a potential need to move the question to a more appropriate area focused on physics with calculus. The conversation highlights the complexities involved in magnetic field calculations within geometric shapes. The user is looking for guidance on how to proceed with their inquiry.

Hello everybody,

I got a small question and was wondering if somebody could help me with that.

Problem:

I have a square conductor with side length m. I am now trying to figure out what the magnetic field B is at any point inside that square.

Here is what I've come up with so far and I think I am pretty close:

The magnetic field at the center is B=(4*u_0*I)/4pi*a)*(cos(pi/4)-cos(3pi/4))

where a=m/2 and u_0= the permeability of free space

But how could I change this now to give me the B field for any point x,y inside that loop?

Thanks,
Endurance

Is this too advanced for this section? Do I maybe have to post this in the Physics with calculus section?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
