Magnetic field from a current-carrying wire follows the right-hand rule. It's fundamental to electromagnets, motors, and induction devices.

The calculator applies B = (μ × I) / (2π × r)
B
(μ × I) / (2π × r) — (μ × I) / (2π × r)

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
I = 10 A, r = 0.01 m (1 cm)
ଫଳ
B ≈ 200 μT
Comparable to Earth's magnetic field

  • Confusing field direction with current direction

ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା

Does current direction affect field direction?

Yes, use the right-hand rule: thumb points along current, fingers curl in field direction.

Why does field decrease with distance?

Field spreads in a cylindrical pattern; area increases linearly with radius, reducing field density.
