Question

A wire carrying a current is  shaped in the fom of a circular loop of radius 4.0 mm.  If the magnetic field strength at its center is 1.1 mT with no external magnetic field contributing to it, what is the magnitude of the current that flows through the wire?

Expert Solution
Step 1

A wire carrying a current is shaped in the fom of a circular loop 

So magnetic field at centre is

B =Uo×I/(2πr) ;

Where Uo=4π×10^-7

            r= radius of loop;
