Homework Statement
Calculate the magnetic field above a loop shown in picture with radius ##R## and current ##I##.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Firstly, curved part:
##\vec{H}(\vec{r})=\frac{I}{4\pi }\int \frac{d\vec{{r}'}\times (\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'})}{|\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'}|^3}cos\varphi =\frac{I}{4\pi }\int \frac{Rd\varphi \hat{e}_{\varphi }\times (\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'})}{(R^2+z^2)^{3/2}}\frac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+z^2}}##
Where ##\hat{e}_{\varphi }\times (\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'})=|\hat{e}_{\varphi }||\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'}|sin\varphi \hat{n}=\sqrt{R^2+z^2}\hat{n}## and finally:
##\vec{H}(\vec{r})=\frac{I}{4\pi }\int_{\pi }^{2\pi }\frac{R^2\hat{n}d\varphi }{(R^2+z^2)^{3/2}}=\frac{IR^2}{4(R^2+z^2)^{3/2}}\hat{n}##.
For the straight line I have some troubles with the integral...
##\vec{H}(\vec{r})=\frac{I}{4\pi }\int \frac{d\vec{{r}'}\times (\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'})}{|\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'}|^3}##
Now ##d\vec{{r}'}\times (\vec{r}-\vec{{r}'})=d\vec{{r}'}\times \vec{r}## since ##d\vec{{r}'}## and ##\vec{{r}'}## are parallel. Also ##d\vec{{r}'}=dx\hat{e}_x##.
##\vec{H}(\vec{r})=\frac{I}{4\pi }\int_{-R}^{R}\frac{dx(\hat{e}_x\times \vec{r})}{((\vec{r}-\hat{e}_xx)(\vec{r}-\hat{e}_xx))^{3/2}}=\frac{I(\hat{e}_x\times \vec{r})}{4\pi }\int_{-R}^{R}\frac{dx}{(r^2-2\hat{e}_x\vec{r} x+x^2)^{3/2}}##
Now what? Is this even ok?
