Answer

$5.2\times10^{-8}\,T\cdot m$

Work Step by Step

Ampere's law states that $\int \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{s}=\mu_{0}i_{enc}$ But $i_{enc}=Total\,current\,i\times\frac{encircled\,area\,HW}{full\,plate\,area\,L^{2}}$ Therefore, we get $\int \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{s}=\mu_{0}\times i\times\frac{WH}{L^{2}}$ Plug the given values in the equation to get $\int \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{s}=(4\pi\times10^{-7}\,T\cdot m/A)\,0.75\,A\times\frac{4.0\,cm\times2.0\,cm}{(12\,cm)^{2}}$ $=5.2\times10^{-8}\,T\cdot m$
