A conductor of length L is connected to a dc source of emf ε. If this conductor is replaced by another conductor of same material and same area of cross-section but of length 3L, how will the drift velocity change?Using Gauss's law obtains the expression for the electric field due to a uniformly charged thin spherical shell of radius R at a point outside the shell.

Use this law to derive the expression for the magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current at a point along its axis.
How does a circular loop carrying current behave as a magnet?Biot-Savart law states that the magnetic field strength (dB) produced due to a current element of current I and length dl at a point having position vector to current element is given by,
where, μ0 is permeability of free space.
The magnitude of magnetic field is given by,
, θ is the angle between the current element and position vector.
Magnetic field at the axis of a circular loop:
Consider a circular loop of radius R carrying current I. Let, P be a point on the axis of the circular loop at a distance x from its centre O.
Let, be a small current element at point A.

The magnetic induction can also be resolved into two components, PM and PN’ along the axis and perpendicular to the axis respectively. Thus if we consider the magnetic induction produced by the whole of the circular coil, then by symmetry the components of magnetic induction perpendicular to the axis will be cancelled out, while those parallel to the axis will be added up.
Thus, resultant magnetic induction at axial point P is given by,
Therefore the magnitude of resultant magnetic induction at axial point P due to the whole circular coil is given by,
