Introduction
Use MATLAB to determine the distribution of magnetic flux density B(T) in the region of free space surrounding a straight current-carrying conductor of finite length. Apply the Biot-Savart Law to evaluate B(T). Assume that the conductor is 5m long and that it carries a direct current of 1A. Compute the magnetic field at grid points over an area of 20m x 15m, with the conductor at the centre of the grid, lying along the 20m direction. Your report should contain the following detail, as a minimum. 1. A description of the mathematics involved, referring to an appropriate textbook. 2. A printout of your MATLAB code, with descriptive comments beside each line of code. A group of four subplots 3.
