Question:medium

A horizontal overhead powerline is at a height of 4m from the ground and carries a current of 100A from east to west. The magnetic field directly below it on the ground is \( \mu_0 I / 2 \pi r \). What is the magnetic field at this point?

Show Hint

Use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field due to a current.
