Biot-Savart Law
Biot-Savart law gives the magnetic field at a point due to a small current element.
Mathematically,
Here,
dB = Small magnetic field intensity
\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\Pi} = Constant
I = Net current
dl = Elementary length on loop
r = Radius of loop
Biot-Savart Law – Application to Find Magnetic Field on The Center of A Current Carrying Circular Loop
Consider a circular coil or loop of radius “r” carrying current I.
Let’s consider an element of the coil XY of length dl.
Now magnetic field intensity at the center “O” due to current element Idl is dB.
Then according to Biot-Savart’s law,
dB = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\Pi}.\frac{Idl.\sin\Theta}{r^{2}}....... (1)Where,
\Theta = Angle between \overrightarrow{dl} and \overrightarrow{r}.
In case of circular loop, \Theta = {90^{0}}
