A coaxial cable consists of an inner wire of radius 'a' surrounded by an outer shell of inner and outer radii 'b' and 'c' respectively. The inner wire carries an electric current i0, which is distributed uniformly across cross-sectional area. The outer shell carries an equal current in opposite direction and distributed uniformly. What will be the ratio of the magnetic field at a distance x from the axis when (i) x < a and (ii) a < x < b ?

A. x 2 a 2

B. a 2 x 2

C. x 2 b 2 a 2

D. b 2 a 2 x 2

Correct Answer is Option (A)

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th August Evening Shift Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 62 English Explanation
when x < a

B 1 ( 2 π x ) = μ 0 ( i 0 π a 2 ) π x 2

B ( 2 π x ) = μ 0 i 0 x 2 a 2

B 1 = μ 0 i 0 x 2 π a 2 .... (1)

when a < x < b

B 2 ( 2 π x ) = μ 0 i 0

B 2 = μ 0 i 0 2 π x ..... (2)

B 1 B 2 = μ 0 i 0 x 2 π a 2 μ 0 i 0 2 π x = x 2 a 2

The fractional change in the magnetic field intensity at a distance 'r' from centre on the axis of current carrying coil of radius 'a' to the magnetic field intensity at the centre of the same coil is : (Take r < a)

A. 3 2 a 2 r 2

B. 3 2 a 2 r 2

C. 2 3 r 2 a 2

D. 3 2 r 2 a 2

Correct Answer is Option (D)

B a x i s = μ 0 i R 2 2 ( R 2 + x 2 ) 3 / 2

B c e n t r e = μ 0 i 2 R

B c e n t r e = μ 0 i 2 a

B a x i s = μ 0 i a 2 2 ( a 2 + r 2 ) 3 / 2

fractional change in magnetic field =

μ 0 i 2 a μ 0 i a 2 2 ( a 2 + r 2 ) 3 / 2 μ 0 i 2 a = 1 1 [ 1 + ( r 2 a 2 ) ] 3 / 2

1 [ 1 3 2 r 2 a 2 ] = 3 2 r 2 a 2

Note : ( 1 + r 2 a 2 ) 3 / 2 ( 1 3 2 r 2 a 2 )

[True only if r << a]

Hence, option (d) is the most suitable option.
