Magnetic field of a current loop

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic field (B) of a current loop at specific distances from the coil. The initial calculations yield B = 0.000193 T for a distance of 0.17 cm and B = 0.00000063 T for 2.3 cm, but there is uncertainty about the interpretation of "from the axis." Clarification is sought on whether this refers to the coil's major axis or the coil plane. The consensus suggests that the term "axis" typically denotes the coil's major axis, which is crucial for accurate calculations. Understanding these details is essential for deriving the correct magnetic field values.

Homework Statement
Circular current loop with radius of R = 0.3 cm and current I = 1.4 A

Calculate the magnetic field B within the distances of a) x1 = 0.17 cm and b) x2 = 2.3 cm from the axis.
Relevant Equations
B = (u0/2) * (IR^2) / (x^2 + R^2)^(3/2)
This should be pretty straightforward and my take gives B = 0.000193*T for a) and B = 0.00000063 T for b).

Or have I misunderstood something?

I’m not passing the grader with the above answer.
 
It seems the B equation is for its x-directed component. To derive B just need the angle. Solved.

"From the axis"? Should be "from the coil plane"? Or a diametric axis?
"The axis" is usually understood to be the coil's major axis.
 
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 .
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...
