Answer:
3.7 A
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Magnetic field strength, B = 5 * 10^(-5) T
Distance of magnetic field from wire, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
The magnetic field, B, due to a current, I, flowing a wire is given as:
B = (μ₀*I) / 2πr
Where μ₀ = permeability of free space
To get the current, I, we make I the subject of the formula:
I = (2πr * B) / μ₀
I = (2 * 3.142 * 5 * 10^(-5)) / (1.25663706 × 10^(-6))
I = 3.7 A
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct.
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at
standard temperature, then the mass of 25.0 mL could
very well be 25.4 grams. We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:
The 'error' was (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram
As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was
+0.4 / 25.0 = +0.016 .
To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way ===> .
+ 0.016 = +1.6 % .
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.
Let's not call it an 'error'. Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value. OK ?

It's a frame for your body and protects organs and armor protects your body from injury
