Q: Part A A wire of radius 0.7 cm carries a current of 100 A that is uniformly distributed over its cross-sectional area. The
permeability of free space is 4 × 10−7 T · m/A. Find the magnetic eld at a distance of 0.4 cm from the center of the
wire. Answer in units of T. I am using the formula B=μI/2πd. At rst I came up with .005T, but then realized I should
