The maximum allowable current in the cable.
Answer to Problem 31P
The maximum allowable current in the wire is 2.5 A.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Distance from the cable is 1.00 m. Accuracy of the experiment must be in the limits of
Formula used:
The magnetic field due to the current in the wire is given by
Calculation:
As per the condition, the maximum allowable current in the wire up to the limits of accuracy must be
Conclusion:
Thus, the maximum allowable current in the wire is 2.5 A
