Nov 4, 2021 Hint: if you have a tiny piece of aUpadhyay
Chetan wire, just calculate dB; no need to integrate.3
Example: calculate the magnetic field at point P due to a thin
straight wire of length L carrying a current I. (P is on the
perpendicular bisector of the wire at distance a.)

• This applies to any region in which a magnetic
field exists
– not just the solenoid
Energy stored into air magnetic
field = B2 / 2µ0 joule / m3
P
So energy stored into air
magnetic field
= B2 {A . dx} / 2µ0 N
dx
Work done
= B2 {A .dx} / 2µ0 = P . dx
S
So, the lifting power of magnet
= B2 A/ 2µ0
