JEE Main2008PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A horizontal overhead power line is at a height of 4 ~m from the ground and carries a current of 100 ~A from east to west. The magnetic field directly below it on the ground is ( ₀=4 10⁻⁷ ~T ~m ~A ⁻¹ )
Options
- A2.5 10⁻⁷ ~T southward
- B5 10⁻⁶ ~T northward
- C5 10⁻⁶ T southward
- D2.5 10⁻⁷ northward
