Magnetic field due to currentHard
Question
A long straight wire of radius a carries a steady current i. The current is uniformly distributed across its cross section. The ratio of the magnetic field at a/2 and 2a is
Options
A.1/2
B.1/4
C.4
D.1
Solution
Here, current is uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire, therefore current enclosed in the amperean
path formed at a distance r1
=
× I, where Iis total current ∴ Magnetic field at
P1(B1) =
Now, magnetic field at point P2′
(B) =
∴ Required Ratio =
