Q4: In 1962, measurements of the magnetic field of a large tornado were made at the Geophysical Observatory in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If the magnitude of the tornado’s field was B = T pointing north when the tornado waskm east of the observatory, what cur- rent was carried up or down the funnel of the tornado? Model the vortex as a long, straight wire carrying a current.
