Magnetic field due to long straight conductor
Here we will discuss all the cases involved in the magnetic field due to Conductor such as Magnetic Field due to Infinite Straight Conductor, and many more discussed below:Consider a long straight conductor XY through which current I is flowing from $X$ to Y. Let $P$ be the observation point at a distance 'r' 'from the conductor XY. Let us consider an infinitesimally small current element $\mathrm{CD}$ of length d\ell. Let s be the distance of $\mathrm{P}$ from the mid-point $\odot$ of the current element. Let $\theta$ be the angle that OP makes with the direction of the current. The magnetic field at $P$ due to the current element $C D$ is
$\mathrm{dB}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{\mathrm{Id} \ell \sin \theta}{\mathrm{s}^{2}}[\text { Biot-Savart's law }]$ The magnetic field at P due to the whole of the conductor XY
Case I :
If the conductor is infinitely long, then $\theta_{1}=90^{\circ}$ and $\theta_{2}=90^{\circ}$$\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi}\left[\sin \frac{\pi}{2}+\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right]=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi \mathrm{r}}[1+1]=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{r}}$ Or
Case II :
If a conductor is of infinite length but one end is in front of point $P$ i.e. one end of conductor starts from point $N$ then $\theta_{1}=0^{\circ}$ and $\theta_{2}=90^{\circ}$Case III :
Conductor is finite length and point P is just in front of the middle of the conductorCase IV :
