Question
You have learned that a charge moving in an magnetic field can experience a
magnetic force. Remarkably, anytime that a charged particle moves that
particle produces its own magnetic field! The image below of magnetic
compasses forming a circle around a current-carrying wire demonstrates the
shape of the magnetic field. The magnetic field lines forms concentric circles
around that wire. The strength of the field decreases with increasing distance
away from the wire.
If the current in the wire is 4.07A, what is the magnitude of the magnitude of
the magnetic field (in µT, or micro-Tesla) a distance of 0.53m away from the
wir
Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in uT, however do not
explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a
unit, your answer will be counted wrong.
