| You may have read about how to find the [[184_notes:b_current#Magnetic_Field_from_a_Very_Long_Wire|magnetic field from a very long wire of current]]. Now, what is the magnetic field from a single segment? Suppose we have the configuration shown below. Your observation point is at the origin, and the segment of current $I$ runs in a straight line from $\langle -L, 0, 0 \rangle$ to $\langle 0, -L, 0 \rangle$. | You may have read about how to find the [[184_notes:b_current#Magnetic_Field_from_a_Very_Long_Wire|magnetic field from a very long wire of current]].
