. A farmer is concerned that high-voltage power lines running parallel to his wire fence might induce danger- ously high voltages in the fence. He knows that the power lines carry alternating current that oscillates at 60 Hz (i.e., it reverses direction 120 times per second), and that the current magnitude is on the order of 1000 A.
