Problem 5.14: 2 M. If The Two Loops Have 3 M, Determine The Magnetic Field At: 0 1 M 2 M

The document describes calculating the magnetic field from two parallel circular loops carrying current. 1) The loops have radius a = 3m and current I = 40A. One loop is in the xy-plane and the other is at z = 2m. 2) The magnetic field is calculated at three points: (a) z = 0, (b) z = 1m, (c) z = 2m. 3) The field is found to be 10.5A/m at z = 0 and 2m, and 11.38A/m at z = 1m.

Problem 5.14 Two parallel, circular loops carrying a current of 40 A each are arranged as shown in Fig. P5.14.

The rst loop is situated in the xy plane with its center at the origin, and the second loops center is at z = 2 m. If the two loops have the same radius a = 3 m, determine the magnetic eld at: (a) z = 0 (b) z = 1 m (c) z = 2 m

Solution: The magnetic eld due to a circular loop is given by (5.34) for a loop in -direction. Considering that the bottom the xy plane carrying a current I in the + , loop in Fig. is in the xy plane, but the current direction is along H1 = z Ia2 , 2(a2 + z2 )3/2

where z is the observation point along the z-axis. For the second loop, which is at a height of 2 m, we can use the same expression but z should be replaced with (z 2). Hence, Ia2 . H2 = z 2[a2 + (z 2)2 ]3/2 The total eld is H = H1 + H2 = z Ia2 2 1 1 + (a2 + z2 )3/2 [a2 + (z 2)2 ]3/2 A/m.

(a) At z = 0, and with a = 3 m and I = 40 A, H = z 1 40 9 1 10.5 A/m. + = z 3 2 3 (9 + 4)3/2

(b) At z = 1 m (midway between the loops): H = z 40 9 1 1 11.38 A/m. = z + 3 / 2 2 (9 + 1) (9 + 1)3/2

(c) At z = 2 m, H should be the same as at z = 0. Thus, 10.5 A/m. H = z
