Week 9:5.1.3 Currents (line, surface, volume currents), Example 5.3, Example 5.4,5.2 Biot-Savart law(5.2.1 Steady currents , 5.2.2 magnetic field of a steady currents)

Learning Outcomes:

After successful completion of this week students will  be able to

  • learn line, surface, volume currents
  • find the magnetic field due to straight line current 
  • learn the steady current
  • discuss the continuity equation 

Lesson Plan:

Lecture 1: 

  • Currents (line, surface, volume currents) and respective current densities
  • Magnetic forces on line, surface, volume currents

Lecture 2:

  • Leaning (a) Magnetic force does not work during the lift of heavy material by magnetic crane (b) Find the volume current density inside the wire

Lecture 3:

  • Learning (a) steady currents (b) continuity equation for steady currents (c) magnetic field due to steady currents (Biot-Savart Law)
