Magnetic Field Due to a Straight Wire -

B=\frac{\mu_{o}i}{4\pi r}(\sin\phi_{1}+\sin\phi_{2})

- wherein

 

 

B=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\frac{i}{a}\left ( sin 90+sin\left ( -\theta \right ) \right )=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\frac{i}{a}\left ( 1-sin\theta \right )

=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\frac{i}{a}\left [ 1-\frac{b}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}} \right ]
