**Question 12:** 

How much current must flow through a long straight wire for the magnetic field strength to be 1.0 mT at 2.0 cm from a wire? \((\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \cdot \text{m/A})\)

**Options:**

A. 9.2 A  
B. 16 A  
C. 50 mA  
D. 100 A  

(Note: This is a question related to calculating the current needed in a wire to produce a specified magnetic field at a given distance, using the formula for the magnetic field around a long straight current-carrying wire.)
