Look up the magnetic field from a current carrying infinitely long straight wire, an application of the BS law.

where is the start and end point of integration? 0 to inf?
then change cosθ and r respect to x? also the direction B-field is -k?

Are you aware of what you are doing ? What BS entails ? You write dx for an integration in the y direction, you write dB and on the next line B for the same expression on the right. You want to use the Biot Savart Law, which is fine, but somehat over the top: Ampere is already fine here!

No, ##-\infty## to ##\infty##: everywhere where there is a contribution to the B field.

OK thx

Don't see no ##\theta## :smile:

Can you derive ##B={\mu_0I\over 2\pi a}## from BS :rolleyes: ?

But I spy an ##a## and that's not the ##a## in 'your' problem statement :nb) !

using faraday law and lens law
e.m.f=-Nd(flux)/dt
=-200A(dB/dt)
=-200(aL)(dB/dt) how i link dB/dt with velocity dv/dt=5ms^-1?

Reassuring you found it; especially the transition from ##dx## (your ##dy##) to ##d\theta## isn't all that trivial.
The end result is Ampere's law for the straight long wire: ##B \, 2\pi a = \mu_0 I##.
Good.

And yes, ##a=r##.

You use the result of part i.
And Flux is not ##AB## but ##\int \vec B(r)\cdot d\vec A\ \ ## !

i feel confuse that what is the changing time in this question, since v=5ms^-1 with constant velocity,the question just asking the e.m.f at x=0.2m,but at the beginning of the figure ,it alreay in x=0.2m, so how can i cal?

Do the integral for the flux. Should give you something that depends on x: ##\Phi(x)## . Then ##{d\over dt} \Phi = {d\over dx} \Phi \ {dx\over dt} = \Phi' v, \ \ ## to be evaluated at x = 0.2

do you mean dr/dt in this case? since B=μI/2πr (dB/dr)(dr/dt)=(dr/dt)(-μI/2πr^2)=5(-μI/2π(0.2)^2) for x=0.2m
 
  • #17
No. For the flux, r is just an integration variable. ##v## is ##{dx\over dt} = 5 ## m/s.

i know the concept but i do not know how to solve
e.m.f=-Nd/dx(∫B dA) (5) then how can i solve it?
 
  • #19
Try to work out ##\int B \, dA ##

Note: e.m.f=-Nd/dt (∫B dA)

∫B dA=∫μI/2πr^2 dA <----how A line with r dA=2πrdr?

can you show me some step? i have no idea now...

A is the area of the loop over which you want to integrate ##\ \ \vec B \cdot \ d\vec A\ \ ## (because B is not the same everywhere on A).
Where do you see a ##\ \ r\, dA## ? and where do you see a ##\ \ 2\pi r \, dr## ?

1. What is the Biot-Savart Law?

The Biot-Savart Law is a fundamental law in electromagnetism that describes the magnetic field produced by a steady current in a wire. It states that the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the current, the length of the current-carrying wire, and the sine of the angle between the wire and the point of interest.

2. What is the formula for the Biot-Savart Law?

The formula for the Biot-Savart Law is B = (μ₀/4π) * (I * dl x ̂) / r², where B is the magnetic field, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current, dl is the length of the current element, x ̂ is the unit vector in the direction of the current, and r is the distance between the current element and the point of interest.

3. Can the Biot-Savart Law be applied to all types of currents?

Yes, the Biot-Savart Law can be applied to both direct currents (DC) and alternating currents (AC).

4. What are the limitations of the Biot-Savart Law?

The Biot-Savart Law is only applicable to steady currents and does not take into account time-varying magnetic fields. It also assumes that the current is flowing in a straight line and does not consider the effects of non-uniform current distributions.

5. How is the Biot-Savart Law used in practical applications?

The Biot-Savart Law is used to calculate the magnetic field in various devices such as motors, generators, and transformers. It is also used in the design of electromagnets and in the study of electromagnetic phenomena.
