Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units Value Units Submit Request Answer

Explanation / Answer

a)

Magnetic field due to long straight wire is given by

B=uoI/2pir

=>I=2pirB/uo

I=2pi*0.025*(5*10-5)/(4pi*10-7)

I=6.25 A

b)

I=2pi*0.025*(5*10-3)/(4pi*10-7)

I=625 A

c)

I=2pi*0.025*1/(4pi*10-7)=125000 A

d)

I=2pi*0.025*10/(4pi*10-7)=1250000 A
