To find the magnetic field \( B \) at the center of a rectangular loop of length \( l \) and width \( b \), carrying a current \( i \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Geometry Consider a rectangular loop with vertices labeled as \( A, B, C, D \). The length of the rectangle is \( l \) and the width is \( b \). The center of the loop is the point where we want to calculate the magnetic field. ### Step 2: Magnetic Field Contribution from Each Side The magnetic field at the center due to each side of the rectangle can be calculated using the Biot-Savart Law. The magnetic field due to a straight current-carrying wire at a distance \( r \) from the wire is given by: ...
