State Biot-Savart law Using Biot-Savart law, derive an expression for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of number of turns ‘N’, radius ‘r’ carrying a current.
Biot-savart law states that, the magnetic field induction dB at a point due to current element is
where,
I.dl is the current element,
r is the distance of point from the current elemnt and,
Expression for magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil :
Consider a circular coil of radius 'r' with center O. Let, I be the current flowing in the circular coil. Assume, that the current coil is made of a large number of current elements each of length 'dl' .
current element = I.dl
Now, as per Biot Savart law we have,
Since, the angle between is 900.
Therefore,
Thus,
B=
But,
Therefore,
where,
n is the number of turns in the coil.
