A horizontal power line carries a current of 90A in east to west direction. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to the current 1.5m below the line?

Verified by Experts


According to formula,
`B=(mu_(0)I)/(2pir)`
`thereforeB=((4pixx10^(-7))(90))/((2pi)(1.5))`
`thereforeB=1.2xx10^(-5)T`
(Towards south from point P, as shown in the figure according to right hand thumb rule).
