Step 1
Determine the direction of the magnetic field created by the wire at the center of the loop using the right-hand rule. The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the plane of the loop and will circulate clockwise around the wire. Show more…

A wire is formed so as to make a circular loop connecting two long, straight sections as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 20.72 .$ If the radius of the loop is $R=20 \mathrm{cm}$ and the wire carries current $I=2.4 \mathrm{A}$, what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the center of the loop?

The circular loop of wire shown has a radius of R and carries a current I. Point P is a distance of R/2 above the center of the loop. Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P due to the current in the loop. Express your answer in terms of R, I, and fundamental constants as appropriate.
