   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   
   12.5A, 3.1x10^-5
   
   2. Relevant equations
   
   How far from a long conductor passing a current of 12.5A is the magentic field of strength 3.1x10^-5T?
   
   3. The attempt at a solution
   
   B= uI/2(pi)r
   
   r=uI/2(pi)B
   =(4pi)(12.5A)/ 2(pi)(3.1x10^-5T)
   = 8.1x10^5m
