To see why an MRI utilizes iron to increase the magnetic field created by a coil, calculate the current in amperes needed in a 420-loop-per-meter circular coil 0.660 m in radius to create a 1.15 T field (typical of an MRI instrument) at its center with no iron present. A The magnetic field of a proton is approximately like that of a circular current loop 0.650 x 10-15 m in radius carrying 1.05 x 104 A. What is the field in teslas at the center of such a loop?
