A cylindrical conductor of radiusRcarrying currentialong the axis such that the magnetic field inside the conductor varies asB=B0r2 0<r≤R, then which of the following isincorrect?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Hint: Use Ampere’s law
Sol: As Br=B0r2



∴  Total current (upto R)
B0R22πR=μ0I0 ⇒ I0=2πR3B0μ0
And let upto 'r' it confines half of the current.

Then B0r'2·2πr'=μ0I02
⇒ B0·2πr'3=μ02·2πR3B0μ0
⇒ r'=R213

Now let J→(r) is the current density at ‘r’
Then B0r2·2πr=μ0∫0rJ(r) 2πrdr
∵ ∫Bdl = μ0I
⇒ 2πB0r3=μ0·2π∫0rJ(r)rdr

∴  Differentiating both side w.r.t(r)
2πB0·3r2·dr=μ02π·J(r) rdr
⇒ J(r)=3B0rμ0

For r>R;

B×2πr=μ0I0

⇒ B×2πr=μ0×2πR3B0μ0

⇒B=B0R3r
