NEETPhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
A long cylindrical wire of radius R carries a uniform current I flowing through it. The variation of magnetic field with distance r from the axis of the wire is shown by
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic field due to long cylindrical wire of radius R inside the cylinder at a distance r < R aligned & B_ in & .= ₀ 2 I r R² [where, I= current ] & B_ in & r ...(i) aligned Magnetic field outside the current carrying cylindrical wire of radius R at a distance r>R is given as B_ out = ₀ I 2 r i.e. B_ out 1 r ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), graph between B and r drawn as
