Infinitely Long Wire Magnetic Field

A magnetic field is the magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic materials for an infinitely long wire; it is created by the current flowing through the wire.

The magnetic flux density is proportional to the current divided by distance from the wire.

Formula

QuantityVariable["B", "MagneticFluxDensity"] == (Quantity[1/(2*Pi), "MagneticConstant"]*QuantityVariable["I", "ElectricCurrent"])/QuantityVariable["d", "Distance"]

symbol description physical quantity
B magnetic flux density "MagneticFluxDensity"
d distance "Distance"
I electric current "ElectricCurrent"
