Magnet field and Force 1" away from a wire
(OP)
What is the magnetic field 1" away from a wire carrying 100,000 amps? What is the force on a piece of iron 1" away from the same wire?
thanks in advance,

In the 1980's when scientists were all "fired-up" (excuse the pun) about the "rail-gun", such calculations were child's play considering that they were using magnitudes of about 10MA. While I don't have any info regarding the methodology used, I do recall bus-bar separations of 5/8" to 3/4".
