NEET2019PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A cylindrical conductor of radius R is carrying a constant current. The plot of the magnitude of the magnetic field B with the distance d from the centre of the conductor is correctly represented by the figure.
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
Inside ( d < R ) Magnetic field inside conductor B = Kd       . . ( i ) This is straight line passing through origin At surface ( d = R ) B = μ 0 2 π 1 d Maximum at surface Outside ( d > R ) B = μ 0 2 π 1 d or B ∝ 1 d ∴ Hyperbolic Hence the correct option is (B)
