ELE401 - Field Theory: Tutorial Problems Week 8

This summary covers a multi-part tutorial problem document about electromagnetic fields. The document contains 3 problems related to calculating magnetic fields and flux from current-carrying conductors of different shapes, including an infinitely long line of current, a circular loop of current, and a solid cylindrical conductor. Expressions are derived for the magnetic field and flux density inside and outside conductors using Ampere's law, Biot-Savart law, and vector calculus identities.
