    how much current to cancel earth's magnetic field?
    It can be shown the magnetic field in a long narrow tube is uniform and given by B(Tesla =1.26E-6 N I(amp)?

    where N is number of wire loops/meter. Assuming the solenoid is aligned along the Earth's magnetic field,how much current is needed to cancel the Earth's field?
    earth's magnetic field is 10^-4 Tesla

    Given the equation , and given that the earth's magnetic field is , set these equal to each other and solve for the current, I.
