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?
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
