Question
You have learned that a charge moving in an magnetic field can experience a magnetic force.
Remarkably, anytime that a charged particle moves that particle produces its own magnetic
field! The image below of magnetic compasses forming a circle around a current-carrying wire
demonstrates the shape of the magnetic field. The magnetic field lines forms concentric circles
around that wire. The strength of the field decreases with increasing distance away from the
wire.

If the current in the wire is 7.79A, what is the magnitude of the magnitude of the magnetic field
(in μT, or micro-Tesla) a distance of 0.32m away from the wire?
Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in μT, however do not explicitly include
units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted
wrong.
