1. A current element of 2𝜋(0.6𝑎𝑥 − 0.8𝑎𝑦 )𝜇𝐴 − 𝑚 is situated at a point P (4, -2, 3). Through
suitable analysis, determine the incremental magnetic field (strength as well as flux density) at
a point Q (1, 3, 2).
2. Two parallel co-axial current loops are at a distance ‘2h’ meter apart.
a. Derive an expression for the B – field at z = 2h with the currents flowing in counter-
clockwise direction in both the loops.
b. Considering the loop radius to be 0.12 m, with a current of 150 A flowing in them
and the separation distance being 0.25m, calculate the B-field a point mid-way
between the loops.
c. If the current in one of the loops were to be reversed, determine the B-field mid-way
between the two loops.
3. From the fundamentals, develop an expression for the magnetic field (intensity as well as flux
density) both – inside and outside a solid cylindrical conductor of radius ‘a’ meter carrying a
current ‘I’ amperes with uniform density. Also, sketch the variation of the field intensity as a
function of distance from the conductor axis.
1. There exists a boundary between two magnetic materials at (3𝑥 + 4𝑦) = 10, having
permeabilities of 𝜇0 𝐻/𝑚 in region – 1 ((3𝑥 + 4𝑦) > 10) and 10𝜇0 𝐻/𝑚 in region – 2
((3𝑥 + 4𝑦) < 10). There exists zero surface current at the boundary. For a magnetic field of
(0.1𝑎𝑥 + 0.4𝑎𝑦 + 0.2𝑎𝑧 ) 𝑇 in region – 1, determine the value of the corresponding magnetic field
(strength as well as flux density) in region – 2.
2. A unit normal vector from region -2 (2𝜇0 𝐻/𝑚) to region – 1 (𝜇0 𝐻/𝑚) is defined as: 𝑎𝑁21 =
6𝑎𝑥 + 2𝑎𝑦 − 3𝑎𝑧 ̅1 = 10𝑎𝑥 + 𝑎𝑦 + 12𝑎𝑧 𝐴/𝑚 while 𝐻 ̅2 = 𝐻2𝑥 𝑎𝑥 − 5𝑎𝑦 + 4𝑎𝑧 𝐴/𝑚,

b. The surface current density at the interface
c. The angles the flux density vectors make with the interface in both the regions.

b. 𝐼1 ∆𝑙1 = 2𝜋𝑎𝑧 𝜇𝐴 − 𝑚; 𝑃1 (4, −2, 3)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃2 (0, 3, 0)
