A long straight wire in the horizontal plane carries a current of 50A in north to south direction. Give the magnitude and direction of `vecB` at a point `2*5m` east of the wire.

Answer» Here, `I=50A`, `r=2*5m`, `B=?`
`B=(mu_0)/(4pi)(2i)/(r)=10^-7xx(2xx50)/(2*5)=4xx10^-6T`
It acts upwards, perpendicular to the plane of wire.
