Electric fields: produced by charges Magnetic fields: produced by moving charges charged tape Any magnetic field? Frame of Reference Biot-Savart Law is an Approximation 3 Must use the velocities of the charges as you observe them in your reference frame!

If we suddenly change the current in a wire: Magnetic field will not change instantaneously. Electron and positron collide: Produce both electric and magnetic field, these fields exist even after annihilation. Changes propagate at speed of light Why is there no time in Biot-Savart law? We assume speed of charges is small Retardation Biot-Savart Law is an Approximation 4

Magnetic field of a solenoid A constant magnetic field could be produced by an infinite sheet of current. In practice, however, it is easier and more convenient to use a solenoid. A solenoid is defined by a current I flowing through a wire that is wrapped n turns per unit length on a cylinder of radius R and length L. L R
