Solution
Let AB, a long straight wire is carrying current i. The magnetic flux density `bar(B)` is to be required at point X at a distance r.
Let us draw a circle of radius r with centre O as shown in above figure. The point X lies on the circumference of the circle.
According to Ampere's circuital law,
`oint bar(B). bar(dl)= μ_0i. "where " bar(dl)` = infinitesimally small portion XY in the circle.
For complete circle, `bar(dl)= 2pir`
∴ `bar(B). 2pir = μ_0i`
⇒ `bar (B) = (mu_0)/(2pi).i/r NA^(-1)m^(- 1)`
⇒ `bar (B) = (mu_0)/(4pi).(2i)/r`
∴ `bar (B) = 10^-7 .(2i)/r NA^(-1)m^(- 1)`
