Magnetic Fields in Current-Carrying Loops and Ideal Solenoids

MAGNETIC FIELDS AND FORCES & CONDUCTORS
Magnetic Field at the Center of a Circular Current-Carrying Loop
B = N µ0 I / 2R          µ0 = 4π×10-7 T • m / A
                                 I = current
                                 N = number of turns
                                 R = radius of the loop
Magnetic Field Inside an Ideal Solenoid
B = µ0 N I / L = µ0 n I       n = N / L
                                  µ0 = 4π×10-7 T • m / A
                                 N = number of turns
                                 I = current
                                 L = Length
