Notice that the answer is independent of s
thats because B decreases at the same rate as
the circumference increases. In fact, it doesnt
have to be a circle any old loop that encloses
the wire would give the same answer. For if we
use cylindrical coordinates (s,?,z), with this
current flowing along the z axis,
This assumes the loop encircles the wire exactly
once.
