Suppose you wanted to find the field of a circular loop (Ex. 5.6) at a point rthat is not directly above the center (Fig. 5.60). You might as well choose your axes so that rlies in the yzplane at (0,y,z). The source point is ( Rcos φ',Rsin ϕ',0, and ϕ'runs from 0 to 2JJ. Set up the integrals25 from which you could calculate Bx,Byand Bzand evaluate Bxexplicitly.

The x,y and z component of the magnetic field of the circular loop are 0

Step by step solution

01

Determine the position vector and its magnitude for magnetic field.

Consider the figure for the given condition:

The position vector for the magnetic field is given as:

p^=-Rcosϕ+(y-Rsinϕ)y^+zz^

Here, ϕis the angle for the circular loop and Ris the radius of the circular loop.

The magnitude of the position vector is given as:

\begin{aligned}&p=\sqrt{(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}}\\&p=\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{1/2}\end{aligned}

The length of the small element of the circular loop is calculated as:

\begin{aligned}&l_{\bar{y}}^{z}=(R\cos\phi)\hat{x}+(R\sin\phi)\hat{y}+z\hat{z}\\&dl_{y}=-(R\sin\phi)d\phi\hat{x}+(R\cos\phi)d\phi\hat{y}+0\\&dl=-(R\sin\phi)d\phi\hat{x}+(R\cos\phi)d\phi\hat{y}\end{aligned}

The vector product of position vector and length vector of circular loop is given as:

\begin{aligned}&d\vec{d}\times\hat{p}=[-(R\sin\phi)d\phi\hat{x}+(R\cos\phi)d\phi\hat{y}]\times[-R\cos\phi\hat{x}+(y-R\sin\phi)\hat{y}+z\hat{z}]\\&dl\times\hat{p}=(Rz\cos\phid\phi)\hat{x}+(Rz\sin\phid\phi)\hat{y}+\left(-Ry\sin\phid\phi+R^{2}+d\phi\right)\hat{z}\end{aligned}

02

Determine the components of magnetic field of circular loop

The x component of the magnetic field of circular loop is given as:

Bx=μ0l2π4π02πdl×pΔp3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}&B_{x}=\frac{\mu_{0}I^{2\pi}}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2}\frac{\left[(Rz\cos\phid\phi)\hat{x}+(Rz\sin\phid\phi)\hat{y}+\left(-Ry\sin\phid\phi+R^{2}+d\phi\right)\hat{z}\right]}{\left[\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{1/2}\right]^{3}}\\&B_{x}=0\end{aligned}

The y component of the magnetic field of circular loop is given as:

By=μ04π02πdlLR×pp3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

By=μ04π02π(Rzcosϕdϕ)x^+(Rz)y^+-Rysinϕdϕ+R2+dϕz^(Rcosϕ)2+(y-Rsinϕ)2+z21/23

By=μ0IRz2π4π02sinϕdϕ(Rcosϕ)2+(y-Rsinϕ)2+z23/2

Thez component of the magnetic field of circular loop is given as:

Bz=μ0J2π4π0Ndl×pNp3

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}&B_{z}=\frac{\mu_{0}I^{2\pi}}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{[}\frac{[Rz\cos\phid\phi)\hat{x}+(Rz)\hat{y}+\left(-Ry+R^{2}+d\phi\right)}{\left[\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{1/2}\right]^{3}}\\&B_{z}=\frac{\mu_{0}IR^{2\pi}}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{(R-y\sin\phi)d\phi}{\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{3/2}}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the x,yand zcomponent of the magnetic field of the circular loop are 0 ,

\begin{aligned}&\frac{\mu_{0}IRz}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{\sin\phid\phi}{\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{3/2}}\text{and}\\&\frac{\mu_{0}IR}{4\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{(R-y\sin\phi)d\phi}{\left[(R\cos\phi)^{2}+(y-R\sin\phi)^{2}+z^{2}\right]^{3/2}}\end{aligned}
