Question 1

What is the formula for the magnetic field at the center of a circular current loop?

B = μ₀ I / 2R
B = μ₀ I R^2 / 2(x² + R²)^(3/2)
B = μ₂ I / 4πR

💡 Hint: Recap the Biot-Savart law as it applies to loops.

Question 2

True or False: The magnetic field direction in a current loop is determined by the left-hand rule.

True
False

💡 Hint: Visualize the left and right-hand rules.

Challenge 1 Hard

A circular loop of radius 0.1 m carries a current of 5A. Calculate the magnetic field strength at a point 0.3 m along its axis.

💡 Hint: Be sure to substitute values for μ₀, I, and R correctly.

Challenge 2 Hard

Two equal loops of radius 30 cm carrying a current of 2A are placed 1m apart. Calculate the resultant magnetic field at a point halfway between them.

💡 Hint: Consider how the fields from both loops interact.
