Consider a long, straight wire of cross-...

Consider a long, straight wire of cross-sectional area A carrying a current i. Let there be n free electrons per unit volume. An observed places himself on a trolley moving in the direction opposite to the current with a moving in the direction opposite to the current with a speed `(v= i/nAe) and separated from the wire by a distance r. The magnetic field seen by the observer is very nearly
