Answer: 628

  1. Each loop: B0=μ0I2RB_0 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R}; the loops are in perpendicular planes, so B=2 B0=2 μ0I2RB = \sqrt{2}\,B_0 = \frac{\sqrt{2}\,\mu_0 I}{2R}.
  2. With I=2 AI = \sqrt{2}\text{ A}: B=2μ02×0.2=5μ0B = \frac{2\mu_0}{2 \times 0.2} = 5\mu_0.
  3. B=5×4×3.14×10−7=62.8×10−7=628×10−8 TB = 5 \times 4 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-7} = 62.8 \times 10^{-7} = 628 \times 10^{-8}\text{ T}.
  4. So the answer is 628628 (in units of 10−8 T10^{-8}\text{ T}).
