Textbook Question

Chapter 24, Problem 9P

Some consumer groups urge pregnant women not to use electric blankets, in case there is a health risk from the magnetic fields from the approximately 1 A current in the heater wires.

a. Estimate, stating any assumptions you make, the magnetic field strength a fetus might experience. What percentage of the earth’s magnetic field is this?

b. It is becoming standard practice to make electric blankets with minimal external magnetic field. Each wire is paired with another wire that carries current in the opposite direction. How does this reduce the external magnetic field?
