*65. ssm A piece of copper wire has a resistance per unit length of 5.90 x 10-3 /m. The wire is wound into a thin, flat coil of many turns that has a radius of 0.140 m. The ends of the wire are connected to a 12.0-V battery. Find the magnetic field strength at the center of the coil.

 

 

We find current by using Ohm’s Law

 

Resistance is found from

 

Where λ is resistance per length, L is found from the Number of turns times circumfrence

 

So current is

 

So the magnetic field is
