Six very long insulated copper wires are bound together to form a cable. The currents carried by the wires are and . The magnetic induction at a perpendicular distance of 10 cm from the cable is
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
Net current due to all wires,
We know, magnetic field due to an infinitely long straight conductor at a perpendicular distance r from it is given by
where, = current in wire
and = perpendicular distance.
