22.11 Exercise 10

To see why an MRI utilizes iron to increase the magnetic field created by a coil, calculate the current needed in a 400-loop-per-meter circular coil 0.660 m in radius to create a 1.20-T field (typical of an MRI instrument) at its center with no iron present. The magnetic field of a proton is approximately like that of a circular current loop $0 . \text{650} \times \text{10}^{- \text{15}} m$ in radius carrying $1 . \text{05} \times \text{10}^{4} A$. What is the field at the center of such a loop?
