What magnetic field strength and direction will levitate the 2.0 g wire in

FIGURE EX29.37 is a cross section through three long wires with linear mass density 50 g/m. They each carry equal currents in the directions shown. The lower two wires are 4.0 cm apart and are attached to a table. What current I will allow the upper wire to 鈥渇loat鈥 so as to form an equilateral triangle with the lower wires?

The earth鈥檚 magnetic field, with a magnetic dipole moment of , is generated by currents within the molten iron of the earth鈥檚 outer core. Suppose we model the core current as a -diameter current loop made from a 1000-km-diameter 鈥渨ire.鈥 The loop diameter is measured from the centers of this very fat wire.
a. What is the current in the current loop?
b. What is the current density in the current loop?
c. To decide whether this is a large or a small current density, compare it to the current density of a current in a -diameter wire.
The twolong parallel wires in FIGURE EX29.34 are separated by . For what value of the resistor R will the force between the two wires be ?
What is the magnetic field strength at points 2 to 4 in FIGURE EX29.1? Assume that the wires overlap closely at 2 and 3 , that each point is the same distance from nearby wires, and that all other wires are too far away to contribute to the field.
