Question
Consider the infinite sheet of current shown in the figures. The sheet is composed of straight, parallel wires separated by distance
d and each carrying current I. There are an infinite number of evenly-spaced wires on the sheet, and each wire is infinitely long.
Using symmetry and Ampere's law, find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at a point a distance D above the
sheet. For the purposes of this problem, use a coordinate system such that the infinite sheet lies in the x-y plane with the current
flowing in the +x-direction. The z-axis is perpendicular to the sheet, as shown.
