A measurement was made of the magnetic field due to a tornado, and the result was 16.00 nT to the north. The measurement was made at a position 9.10 km west of the tornado. What was the magnitude (in A) and direction of the current in the funnel of the tornado? Assume the vortex was a long, straight wire carrying a current. A (conventional current) flowing ---Direction--the tornado.
