Figure 29-23 shows three circuits, each consisting of two radial lengths and two concentric circular arcs, one of radius r and the other of radius R > r. The circuits have the same current through them and the same angle between the two radial lengths. Rank the circuits according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center, greatest first.

Question
Figure 29-66 shows a cross section across a diameter of a long cylindrical conductor of radius a = 2.00 cm carrying uniform current 170 A. What is the magnitude of the current's magnetic field at radial distance (a) 0, (b) 1.00 cm, (c) 2.00 cm (wire's surface), and (d) 4.00 cm?
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 43 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 29-66 shows a cross section across a diameter of a long cylindrical conductor of radius a = 2.00 cm carrying uniform current 170 A. What is the magnitude of the current's magnetic field at radial distance (a) 0, (b) 1.00 cm, (c) 2.00 cm (wire's surface), and (d) 4.00 cm?
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
