Problem

A current of linear density i flows over the flat surface shown in the figure. Prove that the magnetic field induction component parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the direction i is determined by the formula B∥_\parallel = μ0iΩ4π\frac{\mu_0 i \Omega}{4\pi} in SI and B∥_\parallel = iΩc\frac{i \Omega}{c} in CGS, where Ω is the solid angle at which the surface is visible.
