An Analytical Calculation of the Magnetic Field Using the Biot Savart Law

This work presents an analytical method to calculate the magnetic field at any point of the space, by solving the Biot Savart equation in the reciprocal space. This is applied to express the magnetic field due to a circular current distributions as a convergent series. The comparison between the pro...

Description
Summary:This work presents an analytical method to calculate the magnetic field at any point of the space, by solving the Biot Savart equation in the reciprocal space. This is applied to express the magnetic field due to a circular current distributions as a convergent series. The comparison between the proposed method with the standard numerical integration of the Biot Savart law has shown a good agreement.
