Chapter 24, Problem 8P
Although the evidence is weak, there has been concern in recent years over possible health effects from the magnetic fields generated by transmission lines. A typical high-voltage transmission line is 20 m off the ground and carries a current of 200 A. Estimate the magnetic field strength on the ground underneath such a line. What percentage of the earth’s magnetic field does this represent?
