Question
A long vertical wire carries an unknown current. Coaxial with
the wire is a long, thin, cylindrical
current of 30 mA upward. The cylindrical surface has a radius of
3.0 mm. If the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 5.0 mm
from the wire is 1.0 mT, what are the (a) size and (b) direction of
the current in the wire?
