	~~==Connectedness==~~		Nikola Tesla is relevant because his invention for AC power generation. Thanks to Tesla, homes can have electricity wired to them! The lights in your room, the charging cable to your laptop, and everything else that plugs into an outlet can be traced back to an AC generator. With DC current generation, this couldn't be the case unless you lived right down the block from a power plant.

	This is the general equation for the magnetic field around an infinitely long wire, or more simply, where R <<< L. It is the sum of the magnetic fields caused by the tiny segments of current if you were to chop up the wire into little pieces, integrated down the entire length of the wire.

It is the sum of the magnetic fields caused by the tiny segments of current if you were to chop up the wire into little pieces, integrated down the entire length of the wire.

	This is a very important concept in this course. It follows the right hand rule, just like many other concepts do. If you point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of current flowing through the wire, your fingers will curl in the direction of magnetic field. The field strength is given by the above equation, dependent on distance from the wire and amount of current running through the wire. For more information about the Magnetic Field equation, see the page [http://physicsbook.gatech.edu/Magnetic_Field Magnetic Field] and its special case subcategories		This is a very important concept in this course.
