Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 1AC

A ship’s compass is mistakenly placed 8.35 cm away from a wire carrying a current of 8.25 A. (a) What is the strength of the wire’s magnetic field on the compass? (b) The strength of the earth’s magnetic field is 5.20×10–5T. How far from the wire must the compass be mounted so that it only experiences a magnetic field of 5.20×10–7T (1100 of the magnetic field of the earth) due to the wire?
