Answer

a) ${\bf 3.14\times 10^{-4}}\;\rm A\cdot m^2$ b) ${\bf 5.02\times 10^{-7}}\;\rm T$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the magnetic dipole moment of the superconducting ring is given by $$\mu_{\rm loop}= \pi R^2 I$$ Plugging the known; $$\mu_{\rm loop}= \pi (1\times 10^{-3})^2(100)$$ $$\mu_{\rm loop}=\color{red}{\bf 3.14\times 10^{-4}}\;\rm A\cdot m^2$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ We know that the on-axis magnetic field of the superconducting ring is given by $$ B_{\rm loop}=\dfrac{\mu_0 IR^2}{2(R^2+z^2)^{3/2}}$$ Plug the known; $$ B_{\rm loop}=\dfrac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7}) (100)(0.001)^2 }{2(0.001^2+0.05^2)^{3/2}} $$ $$ B_{\rm loop}=\color{red}{\bf 5.02\times 10^{-7}}\;\rm T$$
