Question:

Although the evidence is weak, there has been concern in recent years over possible health effects from the magnetic fields generated by transmission lines. A typical high-voltage transmission line is \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) off the ground and carries a current of \(200 \mathrm{~A}\). Estimate the magnetic field strength on the ground underneath such a line. What percentage of the earth's magnetic field does this represent?
