ln many casesyou may think of an electricalcircuit as composedof finite straight-1ineand circular-

arc segments,eachof which producesa magneticfield. You can then calculatethe field producedby
eachs"egment and vectorially sum the individual fields to find the total field. Use the result given in
Probleri 11 if you need to frnd the field on the perpendicularbisector of a finite straightwire. To
frnd the field at someother point you sill needto integlatethe BiofSavart 1aw.Use the procedure
given in Section 1 for an infinite wire but replacethe limits of integrationwith finite values.lJse

additionto a long straightwire): a solenoid,a toroid, and a magnetic dipole. The field of a.nideal
=
solenoidis given by B : ltnni inside the solenoid andby B 0 outside.The fieid inside is aiong the

cylinder axis. The field of a toroid is given by B pnNl2tn at a point inside, a distancer fiom the
center.The field inside the hole and outsidethe toroid is zero.The field lines inside are circlesthat at
B = po F lZtz3 at a point on the

axis definedby the direction ofthe dipole moment,a distancez from the dipole. You shouldreca11
from the last ciapter how to find the dipole moment of a curent loop (both magnitudeand direction)
and how to computethe torque of a uniform magneticfield on a dipole'
