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 29-80 shows a wire segment of length /).s = 3.0 cm, centered at the origin, carrying current i = 2.0 A in the positive y direction (as part of some complete circuit). To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field lJ produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B = (/Lo/41T)i /).s (sin 8)/ras the Biot-Savart law. This is because rand 8 are essentially conz Fig. 29-80 75. stant over the segment. Calculate lJ (in unit-vector notation) at the (x, y, z) coordinates (a) (0,0,5.0 m), (b) (0,6.0 m, 0), (c) (7.0 m, 7.0 m, 0), and (d) ( - 3.0 m, -4.0 m,O).
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 75 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 29-80 shows a wire segment of length /).s = 3.0 cm, centered at the origin, carrying current i = 2.0 A in the positive y direction (as part of some complete circuit). To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field lJ produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B = (/Lo/41T)i /).s (sin 8)/ras the Biot-Savart law. This is because rand 8 are essentially conz Fig. 29-80 75. stant over the segment. Calculate lJ (in unit-vector notation) at the (x, y, z) coordinates (a) (0,0,5.0 m), (b) (0,6.0 m, 0), (c) (7.0 m, 7.0 m, 0), and (d) ( - 3.0 m, -4.0 m,O).
