Question

An overhead electric power line carries a maximum current of 125 A. What is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic field at a point 4.50 m directly below the power line

Answer 1

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Step-by-step explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B: magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to 4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla
