A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.1 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 100 A. (a) What is the magnetic field at the site of the compass due to the power line? (b) Will this field interfere seriously with the compass reading? The horizontal component of Earths magnetic field at the site is 20 mT.

Question
A wire with current i ! 3.00 A is shown in Fig. 29-53. Two semi-infinite straight sections, both tangent to the same circle, are connected by a circular arc that has a central angle and runs along the circumference of the circle. The arc and the two straight sections all lie in the same plane. If B ! 0 at the circles center, what is u?
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 25 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A wire with current i ! 3.00 A is shown in Fig. 29-53.
