Question

Equation (8.2) in the Lab 8 manual is a formula for the magnetic field strength at the center of the midplane between two "Helmholtz coils".  

NOTE: This question uses randomized numbers that will be comparable, but not identical, to the numbers relevant for the lab. Your particular set of randomized numbers will remain the same as long as you are logged on. If you log off and then log on again, it is likely that your randomized numbers will have changed.

Assume that each coil consists of   N = 114 turns of wire and has a radius   a = 16 cm . Calculate the magnetic field strength that    I = 1.2  amp  of current will produce in the center of the midplane between the coils.  

I keep getting 7.7x10^-4 but it marks it as wrong

Explanation / Answer

B =uo*n*i/2*r
