Answer:

c. 1.0 mu T

Explanation:

From, the ampere's  circuit law:

∫B.dl = μ₀ I

B.(2πr) = μ₀ I

where,

B = Magnetic Field = ?

r = radius of the circle = length of wire = 3 m

μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A

I = Current = 15 A

Therefore,

B(2π)(3 m) = (4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)(15 A)

B = 10 x 10⁻⁷ T

B = 1 x 10⁻⁶ T = 1 μT

Hence, the correct option is:

c. 1.0 mu T
