Question : 22
Total: 26
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 current I.
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 element dl on top (L) where, current comes out of paper normally whereas at bottom (M) enters into the plane paper normally.

Where, a= radius of circular loop.
r= distance of point P from centre
