* Magnetic field sensor on your mobile phone You place a long wire next to your mobile phone on a table as shown in Figure P20.32. You run an application that allows you to measure the time dependence of the component of the B field that is perpendicular to the screen of the phone (let's call it B₂). While recording the magnetic field, you repeat the following steps: connect the wire to an AA battery, disconnect the battery, flip the battery (to swap + and terminals), again connect the wire to the battery... and so on. Using an ammeter, you also determine the current through the wire. Average values of your measurements are summarized in the table below.

32. * Magnetic field sensor on your mobile phone You place a long wire next to your mobile
phone on a table as shown in Figure P20.32. You run an application that allows you to
measure the time dependence of the component of the B field that is perpendicular to the
screen of the phone (let's call it B₂). While recording the magnetic field, you repeat the
following steps: connect the wire to an AA battery, disconnect the battery, flip the battery
