Answer: The magnetic field B at the center of a circular

Chapter 20, Problem 76GP

(choose chapter or problem)

The magnetic field  at the center of a circular coil of wire carrying a current  (as in Fig.  is

\(B=\frac{\mu_{0} N L}{2 r}\)

where  is the number of loops in the coil and  is its radius. Imagine a simple model in which the Earth's magnetic field of about \(1 G\left(=1 \times 10^{-4} T\right)\) near the poles is produced by a single current loop around the equator. Roughly estimate the current this loop would carry.

Equation transcription:

Text transcription:

B=frac{\mu{0} N L}{2 r}

1 G(=1 times 10^{-4} T)
