Problem 5.

7 An 8 cm 12 cm rectangular loop of wire is situated in the xy plane with the center of the loop at the origin and its long sides parallel to the x-axis. The loop has a current of 50 A owing clockwise (when viewed from above). Determine the magnetic eld at the center of the loop. Solution: The total magnetic eld is the vector sum of the individual elds of each of the four wire segments: B = B1 + B2 + B3 + B4 . An expression for the magnetic eld from a wire segment is given by Eq. (5.29). For all segments shown in Fig. P5.7, the

combination of the direction of the current and the right-hand rule gives the direction of the magnetic eld as z direction at the origin. With r = 6 cm and l = 8 cm, B1 = z

For segment 2, r = 4 cm and l = 12 cm, B2 = z

Similarly,
