Answer:

Approximately 4.029 A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula that the B field of a few loops all with current in same direction is permeability of free space (mu)* current * Number or loops divided by 2*radius. You are given B field, radius(convert into meters), number of loops and mu is 4pi * 10^-7. Solve for current and you get 4.029 Amperes.
