A long, East-West oriented power cable carrying an unknown current I is at a height of 12 m above the Earth's surface. If the magnetic flux density recorded by a magnetic-field meter placed at the surface is 5 µT when the current is flowing through the cable and 20 µT when the current is zero, what is the magnitude of 1? hint: The measurements from the "magnetic-field meter" are always going to include the Earth's magnetic field - that's unavoidable, so the measurements are taken under two circumstances so the magnetic field of just the power cable can be isolated.
