A filamentary conductor is formed into an equilateral triangle with sides of length $\ell$ carrying current $I$. Find the magnetic field intensity at the center of the triangle.
A regular hexagon shaped wire loop with a side length of a = 25.9 cm carries an electric current of I = 17.6 A as shown in the figure. Determine the size of the magnetic field at point P, the center of the hexagon. Determine the size of the magnetic field at point Q, one of the vertices of the hexagon .

A cylindrical conductor of radius R = 2.99 cm carries a current of I = 2.13 A along its length; this current is uniformly distributed throughout the cross-section of the conductor. The magnetic field midway along the radius of the wire (that is, at r = R/2) is 7.12×10^-6 T. Calculate the distance beyond the surface of the conductor at which the magnitude of the magnetic field has the same value as the magnitude of the field at r = R/2. (Please show the steps)
