You may have read about how to find the [[184_notes:b_current#Magnetic_Field_from_a_Very_Long_Wire|magnetic field from a very long wire of current]]. Now, what is the magnetic field from a single segment? Suppose we have the configuration shown below. Your observation point is at the origin, and the segment of current I runs in a straight line from ⟨−L,0,0⟩ to ⟨0,−L,0⟩. | You may have read about how to find the [[184_notes:b_current#Magnetic_Field_from_a_Very_Long_Wire|magnetic field from a very long wire of current]].
