  1. Today’s agenda: Magnetic Fields Due To A Moving Charged Particle. You must be able to calculate the magnetic field due to a moving charged particle. Biot-Savart Law: Magnetic Field due to a Current Element. You must be able to use the Biot-Savart Law to calculate the magnetic field of a current-carrying conductor (for example: a long straight wire). Force Between Current-Carrying Conductors. You must be able to begin with starting equations and calculate forces between current-carrying conductors.

  2. Biot-Savart Law: magnetic field of a current element From the equation for the magnetic field of a moving charged particle, it is “easy” to show that a current I in a little length dl of wire gives rise to a little bit of magnetic field. r dB The Biot-Savart Law I If you like to be more precise in your language, substitute “an infinitesimal” for “a little length” and “a little bit of.” dl I often use ds instead of dl because the script l does not display very well. You may see the equation written using

  3. Applying the Biot-Savart Law  dB  P r  ds I Homework Hint: if you have a tiny piece of a wire, just calculate dB; no need to integrate.
