Problem 3.229

Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic induction vector B\mathbf{B} (a) of an infinite plane carrying a current of linear density i; the vector i is the same at all points of the plane; (b) of two parallel infinite planes carrying currents of linear densities i and -i; the vectors i and -i are constant at all points of the corresponding planes.

Reveal Answer
3.229. (a) B=μ0i/2;B=\mu_{0} i / 2 ; (b) B=μ0iB=\mu_{0} i between the planes and B=0B=0 outside the planes.
