P3.5: An infinite length line with 2.0 A current in the +ax direction exists at y = -3.0 m, z 
= 4.0 m. A second infinite length line with 3.0 A current in the +az direction exists at x = 
0, y = 3.0 m. Find H(0, 0, 0). 
This situation is shown in Figure P3.5a. 
Ho = H1 + H2 
Referring to the figure,

P3.6: A conductive loop in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side 8.0 cm is centered 
in the x-y plane. It carries 20.0 mA current clockwise when viewed from the +az 
direction. Find H(0, 0, 16cm). 
The situation is illustrated in Figure P3.6a. The sketch in Figure P3.6b is used to find the 
+x-axis intercept for the triangle. By simple trigonometry we have: 
! 
Now for one segment we adapt Eqn. (3.7): 
! 
with ρaρ = RaR, 
! 
! 
H1 = -4.7ax – 0.68az mA/m 
Now by symmetry the total H contains only the az component: 
Htot = -2.0 mA/m az.

P3.7: A square conductive loop of side 10.0 cm is centered in the x-y plane. It carries 
10.0 mA current clockwise when viewed from the +az direction. Find H(0, 0, 10cm). 
We find H for one section of the square 
by adopting Eqn. (3.7): 
! 
! 
With ρaρ = RaR, we have 
R = -5ax + 10az, |R| = 11.18x10-2 m 
aR = -0.447ax + 0.894az, 
aφ = -ay x aR = -0.894 ax – 0.447 az 
! 
Now by symmetry the total H contains only the az component: 
HTOT = -10.4az mA/m 
P3.8: A conductive loop on the x-y plane is bounded by ρ = 2.0 cm, ρ = 6.0 cm, φ = 0° 
and φ = 90°. 1.0 A of current flows in the loop, going in the aφ direction on the ρ = 2.0 
cm arm. Determine H at the origin. 
By inspection of the figure, we see 
that only the arc portions of the 
loop contribute to H. 
From a ring example we have:

P3.9: MATLAB: How close do you have to be to the middle of a finite length of current-
carrying line before it appears infinite in length? Consider Hf(0, a, 0) is the field for the 
finite line of length 2h centered on the z-axis, and that Hi(0, a, 0) is the field for an 
infinite length line of current on the z-axis. In both cases consider current I in the +az 
direction. Plot Hf/Hi vs h/a. 
Adapting Eqn. (3.7), for the finite length line we have: 
! 
For the infinite length of line: 
! 
The ratio we wish to plot is: 
! 
The MATLAB routine follows. 
% M-File: MLP0309

P3.10: MATLAB: For the ring of current described in MATLAB 3.2, find H at the

%M-File: MLP0310

Ro=input('vector location of observation point: '); 
for j=1:df:360;

 as=unitvector(Rs);

 dL=a*df*(pi/180)*cross([0 0 1],as); 
 Rso=Ro-Rs; 
 aso=unitvector(Rso); 
 dH=I*cross(dL,aso)/(4*pi*(magvector(Rso))^2); 
 dHx(j)=dH(1); 
 dHy(j)=dH(2); 
 dHz(j)=dH(3); 
end 
H=[sum(dHx) sum(dHy) sum(dHz)] 
Now to run the program: 
>> MLP0310 
vector location of observation point: [0 0 1] 
H = -0.0000 -0.0000 0.1768 
>> MLP0310 
vector location of observation point: [0 2 0] 
H = 0 0 -0.0431 
>> MLP0310 
vector location of observation point: [1 1 0] 
H = 0 0 -0.1907 
>> MLP0310 
vector location of observation point: [0 1 1] 
H = 0.0000 0.0910 0.0768 
>> 
So we see: 
(a) H = 0.18 az A/m 
(b) H = -0.043 az A/m 
(c) H = -0.19 az A/m 
(extra) H = 9.1ay + 7.7 az mA/m

1.0A of current, determine the magnetic field intensity at the very center of the solenoid. 
How does this compare with your solution if you make the assumption that 10 cm >> 1 
cm?

Or H = 1960 A/m az

3. Ampere’s Circuit Law 
P3.14: A pair of infinite extent current sheets exists at z = -2.0 m and at z = +2.0 m. The 
top sheet has a uniform current density K = 3.0 ay A/m and the bottom one has K = -3.0 
ay A/m. Find H at (a) (0,0,4m), (b) (0,0,0) and (c) (0,0,-4m). 
 
We apply !

(c) H = 0 
P3.15: An infinite extent current sheet with K = 6.0 ay A/m exists at z = 0. A conductive 
loop of radius 1.0 m, in the y-z plane centered at z = 2.0 m, has zero magnetic field 
intensity measured at its center. Determine the magnitude of the current in the loop and 
show its direction with a sketch.

(sign is chosen opposite HS). 
So, I/2 = 3 and I = 6A. 
P3.16: Given the field H = 3y2 ax, find the current passing through a square in the x-y 
plane that has one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at (2, 2, 0). 
Referring to Figure P3.6, we evaluate the circulation of H around the square path. 
! 
! 
! 
! 
! 
So we have Ienc = 24 A. The negative 
Sign indicates current is going in the 
-az direction. 
P3.17: Given a 3.0 mm radius solid wire centered on the z-axis with an evenly distributed 
2.0 amps of current in the +az direction, plot the magnetic field intensity H versus radial 
distance from the z-axis over the range 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 9 mm. 
Figure P3.17 shows the situation along with the Amperian Paths. We have:

conductive wire. For an Amperian path with radius less than a, no current is enclosed 
and therefore the field is zero. Likewise, for radius greater than c, the net current 
enclosed is zero and again the field is zero. Use Ampere’s Circuital Law to find an 
expression for the magnetic field at radius b, the center of the toroid.

current and its direction for line 2.

9. Inductance and Magnetic Energy 
P3.55: Consider a long pair of straight parallel wires, each of radius a, with their centers 
separated by a distance d. Assuming d >> a, find the inductance per unit length for this 
pair of wires. 
 
Each wire can be solved using the 
energy approach: 
! 
The fields are not confined to a 
volume, so we must use the flux 
linkage approach to find inductance 
outside the wires. 
! 
! 
Finally, with ! . 
P3.56: In problem P3.23 the task was to find the field at the center (radius b) of an N-turn 
toroid. If the radius of the toroid is large compared to the diameter of the coil (that is, if b 
>> c-a), then the field is approximately constant from radius a to radius c. (a) Obtain an 
expression for the toroid’s inductance. (b) Find L if there are 600 turns around a 99.8% 
iron core with a = 8.0 cm and c = 9.0 cm.

P3.63: Referring to Figure 3.49(a), the 2.0 cm diameter core is characterized by the 
magnetization curve of Figure 3.60. The toroid has a mean radius of 60. cm. For 10. A 
of current driven through 100 loops of wire, find the magnetic field intensity in the 1.0 
mm gap. 
Referring to the model of Figure 3.49(b), 
Vm = NI = (100)(10A)=1000 A-turns; A = πa2 = 314x10-6 
! ; 
Approach: 
(1) Assume B: B = 0.4 
(2) Read H from chart: H = 200 
(3) Evaluate : Rc =6x106 
(4) RTOT = Rc + 2.53x106: RTOT =8.53x106 
(5) φ = Vm/ RTOT: φ =117x10-6 
(6) B = φ/A: B = 0.373 
Insert this value of B into step (1) and repeat. After 4 or 5 iterations the routine 
converges to a solution B = 0.382 Wb/m2 and H = 190 kA/m. Then, in the gap, we have 
! 
P3.64: Referring to Figure 3.52, suppose the cross sectional area of the bar is 3.0 cm2, 
while that of the electromagnet core is 2.0 cm2. Also, the bar has a relative permittivity 
of 3000, while that of the magnetic core is 10,000. The dimensions for h and w are 12. 
cm and 16. cm, respectively. If the mass of the bar is 20. kg, how much current must be 
driven through 24 loops to hold up the bar against gravity? 
We will follow an approach similar to Example 3.18, but realize that Ac ≠ Ab.
