The earths magnetic field with a magnetic dipole moment of


The earth's magnetic field, with a magnetic dipole moment of 8.0×10^22 A*m^2 , is generated by currents within the molten iron of the earth's outer core. (The inner core is solid iron.) As a simple model, consider the outer core to be a current loop made of a 1100-km-diameter "wire" of molten iron. The loop diameter, measured between the centers of the "wires", is 3100km.

Part A What is the current in the current loop? Express your answer using two significant figures.
