For which loop is ∫B·dl greater? A. Case 1 B. Case 2 C. The integral is the same for
both
Checkpoint 1C
Electricity & Magnetism Lecture 15, Slide 6
Two loops are placed near current carrying wires as shown in Case 1 and Case 2 below. In both cases the direction of the current in the two wires are opposite to each other.

both
Example 15.1 (B field from a thick wire)
Unit 15, Slide 7
A wire with a radius of r=1cm has a uniform current of 1A flowing through it.
What is the B field 1 meter from the center of the wire?
What is the B field 0.5cm from the center of the wire?
Example 15.1 (graph)

XAn infinitely long hollow conducting tube carries current I in the direction shown.
What is the direction of the magnetic field inside the tube?
A. clockwise B. counterclockwise C. radially inward to the center D. radially outward from the center E. the magnetic field is zero
Example 15.3 (Pipe of current)
An infinitely long cylindrical shell carries a uniformly distributed current of 5A out of the screen. The inner radius is a=4cm and outer radius=8cm
What is B at r = 2cm?What is B at r = 6cm?What is B at r = 16cm?

Example 15.3 (Pipe of current)
Conceptual AnalysisComplete cylindrical symmetry (can only
depend on r) can use Ampere’s law to calculate B
Strategic AnalysisCalculate B for the three regions separately: 1) r < a 2) a < r < b 3) r > b

Example 15.3 (B from Solenoid)
A long thin solenoid consists of 500 turns of wire carrying 1.5A. It has a length of 250cm and a radius of 1cm.
What is the magnetic field in the exact center of the coil?
What is the contribution to this field from the 250th coil (the center coil)?

Note:
• B250/Btot = 0.024 (1/500 = 0.002)
• So closest coil contributes over 10 tens more than average coil. Make sense?
When does “Loop” “Solenoid”?
