Answer:
0.050 m
Explanation:
The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by
where
I is the current in the wire
r is the distance from the wire
And the magnetic field around the wire forms concentric circles, and it is tangential to the circles.
In this problem, we have:
Solving for r, we find the distance from the wire:
