Answer

$B = 8.50\times 10^{-4}~T$

Work Step by Step

We can find the enclosed current: $i_{enc} = \frac{(\pi)~(1.00~cm)^2}{(\pi)(2.00~cm)^2}~(170~A) = 42.5~A$ We can find the magnitude of the magnetic field: $\int~B\cdot ds = \mu_0~i_{enc}$ $B\cdot 2\pi~r = \mu_0~i_{enc}$ $B = \frac{\mu_0~i_{enc}}{2\pi~r}$ $B = \frac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7}~H/m)(42.5~A)}{(2\pi)(0.0100~m)}$ $B = 8.50\times 10^{-4}~T$
