Fig. 4.4: Field at a point P due to a finite length current carrying conductor   

Steady Magnetic Field

To illustrate the application of Biot - Savart's Law, we consider the following example.

Example 4.1: We consider a finite length of a conductor carrying a current placed along z-axis as shown in the Fig 4.4. We determine the magnetic field at point P due to this current carrying conductor.
