In many cases, we are interested in calculating the electric field of a long, straight wire. -Claimed by Arjun Patra


Calculation of Magnetic Field

Imagine orienting a wire on the y-axis and having a current run through the wire in the +y direction. We are interested in finding the magnetic field at some point along the z axis, say (0,0,z).
