    Current through Earth's center to produce magnetic field

    1. The field strength of the Earth is 5x10^-5 T at the surface. Space shuttles orbit the Earth at a speed of 7860 m/s . They orbit at an altitude of 322 km. If we assume that a single current loop at the Earth's radius is generating the magnetic field, then what is the current? Determine the...
