Problem

A long straight wire runs along the axis of a long solenoid having 10001000 turns per metre. A point inside the solenoid is 2.0 cm2.0\,\text{cm} from the wire. If the current in the straight wire is 10 A10\,\text{A}, what current should flow through the solenoid so that the magnetic fields produced at the point by the wire and by the solenoid have equal magnitudes? a) 0.8\,\text{A} b) 0.08\,\text{A} c) 8\,\text{A} d) 0.008\,\text{A}
