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
In Fig. 29-73a, two circular loops, with different currents but the same radius of 4.0 cm, are centered on a y axis. They are initially separated by distance L = 3.0 cm, with loop 2 positioned at the origin of the axis. The currents in the two loops produce a net magnetic field at the origin, with y component B)" That component is to be measured as loop 2 is gradually moved in the positive direction of the y axis. Figure 29-73b gives By as a function of the position y of loop 2. The curve approaches an asymptote of By = 7.20 f-LT as y ---4 00. The horizontal scale is set by Ys = 10.0 cm. What are (a) current i1 in loop 1 and (b) current i2 in loop 2?
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 60 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Fig. 29-73a, two circular loops, with different currents but the same radius of 4.0 cm, are centered on a y axis. They are initially separated by distance L = 3.0 cm, with loop 2 positioned at the origin of the axis.

Figure 29-73b gives By as a function of the position y of loop 2. The curve approaches an asymptote of By = 7.20 f-LT as y ---4 00. The horizontal scale is set by Ys = 10.0 cm. What are (a) current i1 in loop 1 and (b) current i2 in loop 2?
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
