Question -

A long straight wire carries acurrent of 35 A. What is the magnitude of the field B at a point 20 cm from the wire?



Answer -

Current in the wire, I =35 A

Distance of a point from thewire, r = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Magnitude of the magnetic fieldat this point is given as:

B

Where,

 = Permeability of freespace = 4π × 10–7 T m A–1

Hence, the magnitude of themagnetic field at a point 20 cm from the wire is 3.5 × 10–5 T.
