Answer

$i = 18.1~\mu A$

Work Step by Step

We can assume that the inner part of the thin ring is $r = 1.195~mm$ from the center, and the outer part of the thin ring is $r = 1.205~mm$ from the center. We can find the current in the thin ring: $i = \int_{1.195~mm}^{1.205~mm}~(2\pi~r~dr)(Br)$ $i = \int_{1.195~mm}^{1.205~mm}~2\pi~B~r^2~dr$ $i = (\frac{2~\pi~B}{3})~r^3~\Big \vert_{1.195~mm}^{1.205~mm}$ $i = (\frac{2~\pi~B}{3})~[(1.205\times 10^{-3}~m)^3-(1.195\times 10^{-3}~m)^3]$ $i = \frac{(2~\pi)(2.00\times 10^5~A/m^3)}{3}~(4.32\times 10^{-11}~m^3)$ $i = 18.1\times 10^{-6}~A$ $i = 18.1~\mu A$
