Question
A battery is connected to a Nichrome wire and a conventional current of 0.9 ampere runs through the wire. The wire is laid out in the
form of a rectangle 40 cm by 2 millimeters.
Part 1
Your answer is partially correct.
(a) What is the magnetic field at the center of the rectangle due to the current in the wire? (The +x axis points to the right, the
+ y axis points up and the +z axis points out. The current is running clockwise.)
