Ranking the locations in order of strength of a magnetic field
Not what you're looking for?
An infinitesimal current element located at the origin (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) carries current (I) in the negative z-direction.
Rank the following locations in order of the strength of the magnetic field that the current element produces at that location, from largest to smallest value
1. x = 0 , y = 0, z = L
2. x = L, y = 0, z = 0
3. x = 0, y = L, z = 0
4. x = 0, y = L, z = L
5. x = L, y = 0, z = L
6. x = L, y = L, z = 0

Solution Summary
This solution provides a detailed explanation of how to rank the given magnetic field.
Solution Preview
The largest magnetic field is at 2. x = L, y = 0, z = 0, 3. x = 0, y = L, z = 0, because these are the closest point to the current in the plane perpendicular to it's direction. The smallest is at 1. x = 0 , y = 0, z = L, ...
