The wire shown in Fig. carries current I in the direction shown. The wire consists of a very long, straight section, a quarter- circle with radius R, and another long, straight section. What are magnitude and direction of net magnetic field at the center of curvature of quarter-circle section (point P)? |

Answer» The contributions from the straight segments is zero since `dveclxxvecr=0` The magnetic field from the curved wire is just one quarter of a full loop: `B=1/4((mu_0I)/(2R))`, and is out of the page. |
