The magnetic field at the Centre of a circular coil of a radius is times that due to a long straight wire at a distance from it, for equal currents. The following figures show three cases: in all cases, the circular part has a radius and straight ones are infinitely long. For the same current, the field at the Centre in case of diagrams , and has the ratio




Important Questions on Sources of Magnetic Field
A cell is connected between the points and of a circular conductor of Centre with angle . If and are the magnitudes of the magnetic fields at due to the currents in and respectively, the ratio is

In the given figure, net magnetic field at will be,

The unit vectors , and are as shown below. What will be the magnetic field at in the following figure?
(Current flowing through wire )


For the current-carrying wire, show that the magnetic field at is,

is the circular ring made of a uniform wire. Current enters and leaves the ring through straight conductors which, if produced, would have passed through the centre of the ring. The magnetic field at is


Figure shows a long wire bent at the middle to form a right angle.
