Problem 3.245

A thin insulated wire forms a plane spiral of N=100N=100 tight turns carrying a current I=8mA.I=8 \mathrm{mA.} The radii of inside and outside turns (Fig. 3.67 ) are equal to a=50 mma=50 \mathrm{~mm} and b=100 mmb=100 \mathrm{~mm}. Find: (a) the magnetic induction at the centre of the spiral; (b) the magnetic moment of the spiral with a given current.
