Use Biot-Savart law to derive the expression for the magnetic field on the axis of a current carrying circular loop of radius R .
Draw the magnetic field lines due to a circular wire carrying currentI .
Draw the magnetic field lines due to a circular wire carrying current
Solution:
Let us consider a circular loop of radius a with centre C . Let the plane of the coil be perpendicular to the plane of the paper and current I be flowing in the direction shown. Suppose P is any point on the axis at direction r from thecentre.
Let us consider a current elementd l on top (L) where, current comes out of paper normally whereas at bottom ( M ) enters into the plane paper normally.
LP ⊥ d l
Also MP⊥ d l
LP = MP = √ r 2 + a 2
Now, magnetic field atP due to current element at L according to Biot-Savart Law,
d B =
⋅
Where,a = radius of circular loop.
r = distance of point P from centre
along the axis.
d B cos ϕ components balance each other and net magnetic field is given by
B = ∮ d B s i n ϕ
= ∮
[
] ⋅
[ ∴ s i n ϕ =

=
∮ d l
B =
∮ d l
B =
( 2 π a )
Forn turns, B =
Let us consider a current element
Also MP
Now, magnetic field at
