Magnetic Field on the Axis of a Circular Current Loop, Ampere’s Circuital Law


  • The magnetic field at the centre of the coil is \tt B = \frac{\mu_{0} ni}{2r}
  • The magnetic field at the centre when conductor is bent in the form of a coil. \tt B = \frac{\mu_{0} ni}{4 \pi r} (\theta) (θ in radius)
  • If the wire is in the form of semi-circle \tt B = \frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 \pi r} (\pi) = \frac{\mu_{0}i}{4 r}
  • For comparing magnetic fields \tt \frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}} = \left(\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}\right)^{2} = \left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)^{2}
  • If two circular coils are connected in series. \tt \frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}} = \left(\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}\right) \left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)

  • Magnetic induction at the centre of current carrying wire bent in the form of a square “l” is \tt B = 8\sqrt{2} \frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \left(\frac{i}{l}\right)

  • Magnetic induction at the centre of current carrying wire bent in the form of a triangle of side “l” is \tt B = 18 \frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 \pi l}

  • Magnetic induction at the centre of current carrying wire bent is the form of hexagon of side ‘l’ is \tt B = 4\sqrt{3} \frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \left(\frac{i}{a}\right)

  • \tt B_{P} = \frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \left[\frac{i_{1}}{r_{1}} - \frac{i_{2}}{(r - r_{1})}\right]
    \tt B_{Q} = \frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \left[\frac{i_{1}}{r_{2}} + \frac{i_{2}}{(r + r_{2})}\right]

1. Ampere's Circuital Law
It states that the line integral of magnetic field around any closed path in vacuum is equal to μ0 times the total current passing the closed path.
\oint \overrightarrow{B}.\overrightarrow{dl} = \mu_{0}l

2. Magnetic field at a point outside the wire i.e. (r > a) is
B = \frac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi r}
