Although the evidence is weak, there has been a concern in recent years over possible health effects from the magnetic fields generated by electric transmission lines. A typical high-voltage transmission line is 20 m above the ground and carries a 200 A current at a potential of 110 kV.
a. What is the magnetic field strength on the ground directly under such a transmission line?
b. What percentage is this of the earth's magnetic field of 50 ?T?

Answer:

a

The magnetic field strength is  [tex]B = 2 \mu T[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

             The  length line   above the ground  is  [tex]R = 20m[/tex]

              The current of the line is  [tex]I = 200A[/tex]

              The voltage of the line is [tex]V = 110kV[/tex]

Generally magnetic field strength is mathematically represented as

              [tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi R}[/tex]

Where  [tex]\mu_0[/tex] is the permeability of free space  [tex]= 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]

             [tex]B = \frac{(4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2) *200}{2 \pi *20}[/tex]

                [tex]= (2.0*10^{-7})[\frac{200}{20} ][/tex]

               [tex]= 2*10^{-6}T[/tex]

              [tex]= 2 \mu T[/tex]

Earths magnetic field is approximately given as [tex]50 \mu T[/tex]

   So the percentage would be

                           [tex]= \frac{Magnetic \ Field \ Intensity \ Of \ Line}{Earth's \ Magnetic \ Field} * 100[/tex]

                          [tex]= \frac{2 \mu T }{50 \mu T } * 100[/tex]

                          [tex]=4[/tex]%
