A long, thin, hollow cylindrical tube of radius carries a current along its length. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance from the surface, outside the tube.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Let the distance of the point from the axis of the cylinder be .
Since the point is at a distance from the surface outside the tube, we have .
By Ampere's circuital law, the magnetic field outside a long cylindrical tube carrying current is given by:
Substituting :
