OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ProfBrainstorm , Could you please help me out ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u still need help ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes , please :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mean the magnetic field due to a current passing through a disc or sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

magnetic fields don't arise from static charges, but from electric currents - what kind of disc or sphere are you thinking about ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

current is flowing in the disc or sphere ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In my books , they have derieved it for ring and rod.. I was wondering if there is a special reason why they did not derieve it for a disc or sphere like they had in electrostatics , to derieve their magnetic field . What do you say ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The reason is that the current has to have a complete path to flow around.
