Magnetic Field of a Long Straight Wire

Question

A long, straight wire carries a current $$I$$ that increases at a constant rate $$\frac{dI}{dt}$$. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field $$B$$ at a distance $$r$$ from the wire?

Accepted Answer

$$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$$

Answer

$$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} + \frac{\mu_0 \epsilon_0 r}{2} \frac{dE}{dt}$$

Answer

$$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} - \frac{\mu_0 r}{4\pi} \frac{dI}{dt}$$

Answer

$$B = \frac{\mu_0 r}{2\pi} \frac{dI}{dt}$$
