To determine the value of the magnetic field induction at any point on a thin conducting wire carrying current, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Magnetic Field Due to a Current-Carrying Wire The magnetic field (B) generated by a current-carrying conductor can be calculated using the Biot-Savart Law, which states that the magnetic field due to a small segment of current-carrying wire (dl) at a point in space is proportional to the current (I) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the segment to the point. ### Step 2: Apply the Biot-Savart Law The Biot-Savart Law is given by: \[ ...
