Consider a long, straight wire of cross-sectional area A carrying a current i. Let there be n free electrons per unit volume. An observer places himself on a trolley moving in the direction opposite to the current with a speed $\text{v}=\frac{\text{i}}{\text{nAe}}$ and separated from the wire by a distance r. The magnetic field seen by the observer is very nearly:
→- $\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{r}}$
- $\text{Zero}$
- $\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{\pi\text{r}}$
- $\frac{2\mu_0\text{i}}{\pi\text{r}}.$
