Important Questions on Magnetic Fields Due to Currents
The figure shows wire in cross section. The wire is long and straight, carries a current of out of the page and is at a distance, from the surface. Wire , which is parallel to wire and also long, is at horizontal distance, from wire and rise a current into the page. What is the component of the magnetic force per unit length on wire due to wire ?


A toroid having a square cross-section, on a side, and an inner radius of has turns and carries a current of . (It is made up of a square solenoid-instead of round one as in figure bent into a doughnut shape). What is the magnetic field inside the toroid at (a) the inner radius and
(b) the outer radius?

The given figure shows an arrangement known as Helmholtz coil. It consists of two circular coaxial coils, each of turns and radius separated by a distance The two coils carry equal currents in the same direction. Find the magnitude of the net magnetic field at , midway between the coils.

The given figure shows a cross-section of a long thin ribbon of width that is carrying a uniformly distributed current into the page. In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic field at a point in the plane of the ribbon at a distance from its edge? (Hint: Imagine the ribbon as being constructed from many long, thin, parallel wires.)


The given figure, shows a long straight wire carrying current and a rectangular loop carrying current . Take the dimensions to be and In unit-vector notation, what is the net force on the loop due to

Figure (a) shows, in cross-section, three current-carrying wires that are long, straight, and parallel to one another. Wires and are fixed in place on an axis, with separation . Wire 1 has a current of , but the direction of the current is not given. Wire with a current of out of the page, can be moved along the axis to the right of wire As wire is moved, the magnitude of the net magnetic force on wire due to the currents in wires and changes. The component of that force is and the value per unit length of wire is Figure (b)gives versus the position of wire The plot has an asymptote as The horizontal scale is set by What are the
