Question

Experiments have shown that thought processes in the brain canbe affected if the parietal lobe is exposed to a magnetic fieldwith a strength of 1.0 T. How much current must a long, straightwire carry if it is to produce a 1.0 T magnetic field at a distanceof 0.40 m? (For comparison, a typicallightning bolt carries a current of about 20,000 A, which wouldmelt most wires.)

__________? A

__________? A

Explanation / Answer

magnetic field , B = ( 0 / 2 ) ( i / r)                           1 = 2 X 10 -7 * i / 0.4        current, i = 0.4 / (2 X 10 -7 ) = 0.2 X 10 7                                                       =20 X 10 5 A                                                       =20 X 10 5 A
