A long straight wire of circular cross-section (radius a) is carrying steady current I. The current I is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The magnetic field is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The formula to calculate the magnetic field inside the conducting wire is given by

Bin =μ0Jr2   ...(1)

The formula to calculate the magnetic field outside the conducting wire is given by

Bout =μ0Ja22r   ...(2)

From equation (1), it can be concluded that the magnetic field is directly proportional to the radial distance inside the wire, whereas from equation (2), it can be concluded that the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radial distance outside the wire.
