Step 1
First, we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field at the point above the center of the loop. Since the loop carries current in the x-y plane, the magnetic field will be perpendicular to the plane of the loop and will point in the z-direction. Show more…

A square wire loop of side length 2b carries a current circulating in the counterclockwise direction. The loop lies in the xy plane, centered at the origin, and with the sides either parallel or perpendicular to the x-axis, as shown below: (c) Calculate the magnetic field B at the point A = (0, 0, z). You may use the following integration formula without proof: integral from -b to b of dy / (b^2 + y^2 + z^2)^(3/2) = 2b / ((b^2 + z^2) * sqrt(2a^2 + z^2))

Q3. Consider a circular loop of radius a, carrying a current I. Let the circular loop be in the yz-plane centered at the origin. Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the point (x, 0, 0) on the x-axis. Looking from a positive x point the current I in the loop is clockwise.
