Experiments have shownthat thought processes in the brain can be affected if the parietallobe is exposed to a magnetic field with a strength of 1.0 T. Howmuch current must a long, straight wire carry if it is to produce a1.0-T magnetic field at a distance of 0.50 m? (For comparison, atypical lightning bolt carries a current of about 20,000 A, whichwould melt most wires.)
