Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the magnetic field at a distance r from a long straight wire carrying current I? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that a long straight wire carrying current creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 2: Identify the formula for the magnetic field (B) around the wire, which is B = (μ₀I)/(2πr).
  • Step 3: Recognize that μ₀ is a constant called the permeability of free space, I is the current in the wire, and r is the distance from the wire.
  • Step 4: Plug in the values of I and r into the formula to calculate the magnetic field B.
