As You Come In… What is the direction of the magnetic field acting on wire 1 from wire 2? Does it apply a force to wire 1? I1I1 x y I2I2 z
3
A Week of Laws Lots of very smart people, so little time! Many scientists made observations about magnetism (and electricity) Some derived equations—others, patterns in behavior The list: Biot-Savart Law Ampere’s Law Lenz’s Law Faraday’s Law
4
Finding Magnetic Fields Ideal goal: find magnetic field, anywhere, for any current source Challenge accepted by: Jean-Baptiste Biot Félix Savart

Using Biot-Savart’s Law Suppose you have an infinitely long wire with current I Want to know B at a location that is a distance x from wire x B? x y z I location
8
Using Biot-Savart’s Law Magnitude of current constant throughout wire Take a portion of wire of length d l —has direction of current This wire portion is a distance r from location—varies with changing d l δ: angle between d l and r x B? x y z I location dldl r δ
