Magnetic Field of a Circular Current Loop
< Prev
Next >

An electron moves with constant speed $v$ in a circular orbit of radius $R$ in the $xy$-plane, centered at the origin. Along the $z$-axis (i.e., at points $(0,0,z)$), at what value(s) of $z$ does the magnetic field produced by the electron reach its maximum magnitude?

A

Maximum at #$z = \\pm R/\\sqrt{2}$#

B

At $$z = \\pm R$$

C

The magnetic field is maximum at $$z = 0$$ (the origin)

D

All points along the $$z$$-axis have equal field strength
