Question: A square wire loop of size 2 a x 2 a lies in the xy plane with its center at the origin and sides parallel

A square wire loop of size 2a x 2a lies in the xy plane with its center at the origin and sides parallel to the x and y axes. A counterclockwise current 1 runs around the loop. (a) Find the magnetic field on the z axis. [Answer: Bz (z)=2ltOl a2/[]!'(a2+ z2)(2a2+ z2)1/2]](b) Show that for z/a I the field becomes that of a magnetic dipole, and find the magnetic moment. (See (8.78) and (8.80).)(c) Compare the field at the center of this square loop with that at the center of a circular loop of diameter 2a.
