Q70 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 1) · Physics
A long straight wire with a circular cross-section having radius , is carrying a steady current . The current is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. Then the variation of magnetic field due to current with distance from its centre will be
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
Using Ampere's law and noting that the steady current is uniformly distributed over the cross-section of the cylindrical wire.
Thus, magnetic field from the centre for .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
