To solve the question of where the magnetic field of a current element is minimum and maximum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Biot-Savart Law The Biot-Savart Law gives us the expression for the magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) due to a current element \( \mathbf{dl} \): \[ \mathbf{B} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi} \frac{\mathbf{dl} \times \mathbf{r}}{|\mathbf{r}|^3} \] where: ...
