Magnetic Fields from Wire Halves

An infinitely long circular wire with radius R R carries a current into the page which is uniformly distributed over the cross sectional area. Consider the total magnetic flux density at a test point located a distance 2 R 2 R from the center of the wire. The total field can be decomposed into contributions from the closer half and farther half of the wire.

B T = B C + B F \large{\vec{B_T} = \vec{B_C} + \vec{B_F}}

What is the ratio of the magnitude of B C \vec{B_C} to the magnitude of B F \vec{B_F} ?

B C B F = ? \large{\frac{|\vec{B_C}|}{|\vec{B_F}|} = ?}


The answer is 1.507.
