Magnetic Field Produced by Straight Currents
29. Sources of Magnetic Field / Magnetic Field Produced by Straight Currents / Problem 3

Lead is a metal that exhibits superconductivity below a critical temperature of 7.2 K. However, if the magnetic field at the surface of a lead wire exceeds 0.15 T, the superconductivity is lost. Determine the maximum current that can flow through a straight lead wire with a radius of 2.5 mm.
