What is the magnetic field strength, in units of microTesla (T), at a distance of 6.3 cm from a long straight wire carrying a current of 6.5 A?

What is the magnetic field strength in units of microTesla T at a distance of 63 cm from a long straight wire carrying a current of 65 A class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]2.1 \mu T[/tex]

Explanation:

The magnetic field strength is given by:

[tex]B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}[/tex]

where

[tex]\mu_0[/tex] is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

In this problem,

I = 6.5 A

r = 6.3 cm = 0.063 m

So, the magnetic field strength is

[tex]B=\frac{(1.256\cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(6.5 A)}{2 \pi (0.063 m)}=2.1\cdot 10^{-6} T=2.1 \mu T[/tex]
