Determine the total magnetic flux through the rectangular loop shown in the figure. The source of the magnetic field is the long straight conductor carrying a current I.
there is no information about length of the conductor.
so I taken it is of infinite length.
B at distance r form the conductor is given by uI/2
r ( infinite current carrying conductor).
Flux=intg(B.dA)
=intg(μI/2πrdLdr)
B is content wrt L so
=LμI/2π intg((1/r)dr)
=LμI/2π*log(r2/r1)
but I'm not confident since the it differs form answer given in the book.
This is the book answer!
