Exercise E1 Magnetic Field Lines
(written test, approx. 4 % of a 120-minute written test, SS2021)

Several parallel conductors are projecting out of the plane.
The same current $|I|$ flows through all the conductors in different directions (see image below).
Sketch at least 10 field lines of the magnetic field strength $\vec{H}$ in such a way that the different properties of the field lines (e.g. direction and density) can be seen.

Result

  • high density of field lines near the conductors
  • direction of the field lines given by the right-hand rule
  • magnetic field has closed field lines
  • resulting field given by superposition of field lines
