Answer

(a) $\mu = 3.1\times 10^{-4}~A~m^2$ (b) $B = 5.0\times 10^{-7}~T$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the magnetic moment: $\mu = I~A$ $\mu = I~\pi~r^2$ $\mu = (100~A)~(\pi)~(1.0\times 10^{-3}~m)^2$ $\mu = 3.1\times 10^{-4}~A~m^2$ (b) We can find the on-axis field strength: $B = \frac{\mu_0~\mu}{2\pi~r^3}$ $B = \frac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7}~T~m/A)(3.1\times 10^{-4}~A~m^2)}{(2\pi)~(0.050~m)^3}$ $B = 5.0\times 10^{-7}~T$
