Definition: Magnetic Field Lines

The lines of constant magnitude of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire which form concentric circles and are tangential at every point to the direction of field are called magnetic field lines.

Formula: Infinitely Long Solid Cylinder / Wire

Inside (r < R): Bin = \[\frac {μ_0Ir}{2πR^2}\]

At surface (maximum): Bs = \[\frac {μ_0I}{2πR}\]

Outside (r > R): Bout = \[\frac {μ_0I}{2πr}\]

Key Points: Magnetic Lines for a Current Loop

  • Magnetic field has the same magnitude at every point on a circle of radius r — cylindrical symmetry.
  • Field direction is tangential to this circle.
  • Even for an infinite wire, field at a non-zero distance is not infinite.
