From Fig (5.8),

                                                      dl sin θ = r dθ



               Substituting
























               Flux density in a medium of air is








               b) Field strength around a circular loop


               A circular coil of radius r metres carrying a current of I amperes has been

               shown in Fig. 5.9. The field strength at a point P which is situated at a
               distance of d metres from the centre of the coil is to be determined. Let dl             1

               and dl  be the two elements of length diametrically opposite to each other on
                       2
               the circular path. Applying Biot-Savart law, the field strength at P due to
               current, the elements of length dl  and dl , respectively are
                                                                2
