A cardiac pacemaker can be affected by a static magnetic field as small as 1.7 mT. How close can a pacemaker wearer come to a long, straight wire carrying 27 A?
I know that F=ILBsin(theta). I attempted to solve using I=27, L as unknown, F=1.7, and Bwire=mupi*I/2pir with an unknown r that would be equal to the L.
I don't think there is a need to convert the 1.7mT to Teslas because my answer should be in mm.
