Since the current Iis evenly distributed along the wire, we can
divide the square into four equal segments and calculate the magnetic
field due to each segment at the center. Let’s denote the side length
of the square as a, then a=L/4 = 0.5m.
The direction of the magnetic field produced by each segment will
be perpendicular to the plane of the square and will point along
the z-axis. Due to the symmetry of the square, the magnetic field
contributions from each side will cancel out in pairs.

“‘latex Question 25:
A wire of length L= 2 m carries a current I= 3 A. The wire is
bent in the shape of a square with sides of equal lengths. Determine
the magnetic field at the center of the square.
Solution:
To find the magnetic field at the center of the square formed by
the wire, we can use the Biot-Savart Law. The magnetic field due to
a current-carrying wire at a distance rcan be calculated as:
dB=µ0I
4π
dl×r
r3
Since the current Iis evenly distributed along the wire, we can
divide the square into four equal segments and calculate the magnetic
field due to each segment at the center. Let’s denote the side length
of the square as a, then a=L/4 = 0.5m.
The direction of the magnetic field produced by each segment will
be perpendicular to the plane of the square and will point along
31
the z-axis. Due to the symmetry of the square, the magnetic field
contributions from each side will cancel out in pairs.
Let’s calculate the magnetic field Bat the center of the square by
considering only one segment of the wire. Since there are 4 segments
contributing to the magnetic field at the center:
B= 4 ×µ0I

Question 25
“‘latex Question 25:
A wire of length L= 2 m carries a current I= 3 A. The wire is
bent in the shape of a square with sides of equal lengths. Determine
the magnetic field at the center of the square.
Solution:
To find the magnetic field at the center of the square formed by
the wire, we can use the Biot-Savart Law. The magnetic field due to
a current-carrying wire at a distance rcan be calculated as:
30
dB=µ0I
4π
dl×r
r3
Since the current Iis evenly distributed along the wire, we can
divide the square into four equal segments and calculate the magnetic
field due to each segment at the center. Let’s denote the side length
of the square as a, then a=L/4 = 0.5m.
The direction of the magnetic field produced by each segment will
be perpendicular to the plane of the square and will point along
the z-axis. Due to the symmetry of the square, the magnetic field
contributions from each side will cancel out in pairs.
Let’s calculate the magnetic field Bat the center of the square by
considering only one segment of the wire. Since there are 4 segments
contributing to the magnetic field at the center:
B= 4 ×µ0I
4π

B=2µ0I

Substitute the values of µ0,I, and ainto the equation to find the
magnetic field at the center of the square.
