Math Problem Statement

Match the variables in the equation B = (N * μ₀ * I * R²) / [2 * (z² + R²)^(3/2)] to the properties they represent.

Solution

In the equation shown in your image:

B=Nμ0IR22(z2+R2)3/2B = \frac{N \mu_0 I R^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^{3/2}}

Here’s what the variables represent:

  • zz: The distance along the axis from the center of the loop
  • II: The current in the wire
  • NN: The number of loops in the coil
  • RR: The radius of the loop

This equation describes the magnetic field (BB) on the axis of a circular current loop.

Would you like more details or have any specific questions? Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How does the magnetic field vary as you move along the axis of the loop (zz)?
  2. How does increasing the current II affect the magnetic field?
  3. What role does the number of turns NN play in the strength of the magnetic field?
  4. How does the radius RR of the loop influence the field at a given point on the axis?
  5. Can this formula be applied to solenoids, and if so, how would it differ?

Tip: In cases where z=0z = 0, i.e., at the center of the loop, the magnetic field is strongest.
