Student’s guide to maxwells’ equations. problem 4.1 Peeter Joot July 20, 2008

1 http://www4.wittenberg.edu/maxwell/chapter4/problem1/ Problem is: Two parallel wires carry currents I1 and 2I1 in opposite directions. Use Amperes law to find the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires. Do this instead (visualizing the cross section through the wires) for N wires located at points Pk , with currents Ik .

Figure 1: Currents through parallel wires This is illustrated for two wires in figure 1.

1.1 Consider first just the magnetic field for one wire, temporarily putting the origin at the point of the current. Z

B · dl = µ0 I

At a point r from the local origin the tangent vector is obtained by rotation of the unit vector:      r xˆ yˆ r = yˆ yˆ exp xˆ yˆ log krk krk Thus the magnetic field at the point r due to this particular current is: B(r) =

µ0 I yˆ 2π krk



r krk

xˆ yˆ

Considering additional currents with the wire centers at points Pk , and measurement of the field at point R we have for each of those: r = R−P Thus the total field at point R is: µ0 yˆ B(R) = 2π

Original problem.

For the problem as stated, put the origin between the two points with those two points on the x-axis. P1 = −xˆ d/2 P2 = xˆ d/2 Here R = 0, so r1 = R − P1 = xˆ d/2 and r2 = −xˆ d/2. With xˆ yˆ = i, this is:  µ0 yˆ  I1 (−xˆ )i + I2 xˆ i πd µ0 yˆ = (− I − 2I ) πd −3Iµ0 yˆ = πd

Here unit vectors exponentials were evaluated with the equivalent complex number manipulations: 2

(−1)i = x i log (−1) = log x iπ = log x exp (iπ ) = log x x = −1

(1) i = x i log (1) = log x 0 = log x x=1
