Figure (a) shows an element of length ds = 1.24 μm in a very long straight wire carrying current. The current in that element sets up a differential magnetic field dB at points in the surrounding space. Figure (b) gives the magnitude dB of the field for points 5.6 cm from the element, as a function of angle θ between the wire and a straight line to the point. The vertical scale is set by dBs = 60.2 pT. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field set up by the entire wire at perpendicular distance 5.6 cm from the wire? Number Units

In Figure (a), wire 1 consists of a circular arc and two radial lengths; it carries current i1 = 0.700 A in the direction indicated. Wire 2, shown in cross section, is long, straight, and perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Its distance from the center of the arc is equal to the radius R of the arc, and it carries a current i2 that can be varied. The two currents set up a net magnetic field B⃗ at the center of the arc. Figure (b) gives the square of the field's magnitude B 2 plotted versus the square of the current i2 2 . The vertical scale is set by Bs 2 = 10.9 × 10-10 T 2 . What angle is subtended by the arc?
