A long straight wire of a circular cross-section with radius ' ' carries a steady current . The current I is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The plot of magnitude of magnetic field B with distance from the centre of the wire is given by








Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
D. 
Step-by-step solution
We know inside the wire
$\begin{array}{ll}
B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi R^2} \cdot r & (O < r < R) \\
\text{ And } B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} & \text{ for }(R < r)
\end{array}
