Lecture 113: Magnetic Fields from Wires and Loops—The Full Story

In this lecture, we start from the magnetic force between moving charges and work our way up to the Biot–Savart law—the foundational equation that tells us how currents generate magnetic fields. We apply this law to calculate the magnetic field around a long straight wire and along the axis of a current loop, culminating in a derivation of Ampère’s Law. Along the way, we explore the symmetry of magnetic fields, contrast them with electric fields, and connect these results to the magnetic dipole moment. Whether you're a conceptual learner or preparing for calculus-based physics, this lecture lays the groundwork for understanding how magnetic fields really emerge from electric currents.
