Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 40P
(a) How large a current would a very long, straight wire have to carry so that the magnetic field 2.00 cm from the wire is equal to 1 00 G (comparable to the earth’s northward-pointing magnetic field)? (b) If the wire is horizontal with the current running from east to west, at what locations would the magnetic field of the wire point in the same direction as the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic Said? (c) Repeat part (b) except with the wire vertical and the current going upward.
