What current is needed to generate the magnetic field strength of 5.0×10−5T at a point 1.5 cm from a long, straight wire? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

3.7 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic field strength, B = 5 * 10^(-5) T

Distance of magnetic field from wire, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

The magnetic field, B, due to a current, I, flowing a wire is given as:

B = (μ₀*I) / 2πr

Where μ₀ = permeability of free space

To get the current, I, we make I the subject of the formula:

I = (2πr * B) / μ₀

I = (2 * 3.142 * 5 * 10^(-5)) / (1.25663706 × 10^(-6))

I = 3.7 A

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~
