B=⃗
The Earth’s net magnetic field (B) can be expressed as the vector ⃗ BH + ⃗
BV
The formula for the magnetic field (B) generated by a long straight current-carrying wire at a
I
perpendicular distance (r) from the wire is given by : B = µ0
2 πr
B is the magnetic field strength
µ0 is the permeability of free space (µ0 = 4π × 10-7 T×m/A )
I is the current flowing through the wire
r or d is the perpendicular distance from the wire
I
If the wire is surrounded by a material with a different permeability ( µr) : B = µ0µr
2 πr
µr is the relative permeability of the material
A loop of wire
The magnetic field generated by a current in a long straight wire occurs whenever there is a flow
of electric charge through the wire. At the center of the loop, the magnetic field lines are
perpendicular to the plane of the loop, and their direction can be determined using the right-hand
rule.
Right-Hand Rule: Curl the fingers of the right hand in the direction of I, your thumb points in
the direction of B.
The formula for the magnetic field (B) at the center of a circular loop of wire carrying current
I
can be expressed as: B = µ0
