$A$ horizontal overhead power line carries a current of $90 \text{ A}$ in east to west direction. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to the current $1.5 \text{ m}$ above the line?

  • A
    $1.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$, towards north
  • B
    $1.2\pi \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$, towards north
  • C
    $1.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$, towards south
  • D
    $1.2\pi \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$, towards south
