==The Main Idea==

This section explains how to find the magnetic field near a long thick wire using Ampere's Law. Finding the magnetic field using Ampere's Law is very simple compared to finding it using the Biot-Savart law.

==How to Find Magnetic Field of A Long Thick Wire==

[[File:Wire.png]]

To find the magnetic field <math>B</math> at a distance <math>r</math> from the center of the long wire apply Ampere's Law. By the symmetry of the wire <math>B</math> will always be constant and tangential to the circular path at every point around the wire.

The path integral <math>{{\oint}d\vec{l}}</math> in this situation is equal to the circumference of the circular path around the wire. This is equal to <math>2πr</math>.

Using the formula above and plugging in <math>{d\vec{l}}</math> we have: <math>{B(2πr) = μ_0I}</math>. To solve for <math>B</math> divide both sides by <math>2πr</math>.

This results in the equation: <math>{B = \frac{μ_0I}{2πr}}</math> which is equal to <math>{\frac{μ_02I}{4πr}}</math>. This is the equation for the magnetic field of a long thick wire that is found using the Biot-Savart law.

==Examples==

===Simple===

What is the magnetic field at a point 0.03 m away from a wire that has a current of 7 amperes?

Solution: <math>I=7</math> and <math>r=0.03</math>. So inserting this into the formula gives <math>{B = \frac{μ_0(7)}{2π(0.03)}}</math>. This results in 4.67e-5 T

===Middling===

A long straight wire suspended in the air carries a conventional current of 7.4 amperes in the -x direction as shown (the wire runs along the x-axis). At a particular instant an electron at location < 0, -0.004, 0 > m has velocity < -3.5 e5, -4.2 e5, 0 > m/s. What is the magnetic field due to the wire at the location of the electron?

Solution: Using the same formula as above and also implementing the right hand rule this equates to < 0, 0, 3.7e-4 > T.

===Hard===

Using the same values as in the middling problem calculate the magnetic force on the electron due to the wire.

Solution: The formula for magnetic force is <math>qv×B</math>. So by using the value for B computed above and calculating the cross product between B and qv we find that this equals < 2.49e-17, -2.07e-17, 0 > N. Don't forget that because this is the force on an electron q is negative.

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Intro Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick a specific topic from intro physics
#Add that topic, as a link to a new page, under the appropriate category listed below by editing this page.
#Copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

== Source Material ==
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).

== Organizing Categories ==
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in two semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories or make a new category as needed. A single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these catagories.
