The use of superconductors has been proposed for power transmission lines. A single coaxial cable (Fig. P23.73) could carry a power of 1.00 103 MW (the output of a large power plant) at 200 kV, DC, over a distance of 1.00 103 km without loss.

This wire is connected to a current source (power supply) and a long horizontal wire, parallel to the wire on the platter, positioned just above it. The distance between the central axis of the two wires is 2.00 cm. When the source is turned on, the scale reading increases by 7.00 mg. What is the current in the wire (at A)?
