Governing Dynamics

The Biot-Savart Law computes magnetic fields from steady currents via integration over the wire path dld\vec{l}:

B=μ0I4πdl×r^r2\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi} \int \frac{d\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}

For a circular loop of radius R at the center:

Bcenter=μ0I2RB_{\text{center}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R}

On the axis of a loop at distance z:

Bz=μ0IR22(R2+z2)3/2B_z = \frac{\mu_0 I R^2}{2(R^2 + z^2)^{3/2}}

The direction of B\vec{B} follows the right-hand rule (cross product dl×r^d\vec{l} \times \hat{r}).

For a straight infinite wire at distance d:

B=μ0I2πdB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}
