23. State Biot-Savart law. Derive an expression for magnetic field at the centre of a circular current carrying coil of radius r. 


Biot-Savart law :



Magnetic field due to small current element ‘dl’ at any point P is given by, 

dB  i

dB space proportional to space dl space and

dB space proportional to space 1 over straight r squared
dB space proportional to space sin space straight theta

Therefore comma space

dB space proportional to space fraction numerator straight i space dl space sin space straight theta over denominator straight r squared end fraction

dB space equals space straight K space fraction numerator straight i space dl space sin space straight theta over denominator straight r squared end fraction

For space free space space comma space

straight K space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction

dB space equals space fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction space fraction numerator straight i space dl space sin space straight theta over denominator straight r squared end fraction 

In vector form, 



Magnetic field at the centre of current carrying coil : Consider a circular coil of radius r, carrying current i.
