### Educational Content

#### Problem 7
A very long thin wire produces a magnetic field of \(0.002 \times 10^{-4}\, T\) at a distance of \(1.0\, mm\) from the wire. What is the magnitude of the current?
\[
(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\, T \cdot m/A)
\]
Options:
a) 1.0 mA  
b) 2.0 mA  
c) 4000 mA  
d) 3100 mA  

#### Problem 8
An ideal solenoid having 200 turns and carrying a current of \(2.0\, A\) is \(25\, cm\) long. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid?
\[
(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\, T \cdot m/A)
\]

### Explanation
- **Magnetic Field by a Wire (Problem 7):** This problem involves calculating the current in a long straight wire based on the magnetic field and distance from the wire using the formula for the magnetic field around a wire.
  
- **Magnetic Field in a Solenoid (Problem 8):** The problem requires calculating the magnetic field at the center of a solenoid, using the number of turns, the current, and the length of the solenoid. 

Both problems require understanding of magnetic fields in various configurations, specifically Ampère's law and the Biot-Savart law for long straight wires, and the formula for solenoids.
