A current I flows along the length of an infinitely long, straight, thin walled pipe. Then

A. the magnetic field at all points inside the pipe is the same, but not zero

B. the magnetic field is zero only on the axis of the pipe

C. the magnetic field is zero only on the axis of the pipe

D. the magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero

Correct Answer is Option (D)

There is no current inside the pipe. Therefore

B . d = μ 0 I

I = 0

B = 0

A long straight wire of radius a carries a steady current i . The current is uniformly distributed across its cross section. The ratio of the magnetic field at a / 2 and 2 a is

A. 1/2

B. 1/4

C. 4

D. 1

Correct Answer is Option (D)

Here, current is uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire, therefore, current enclosed in the ampere-an path formed at a distance r 1 ( = a 2 )

= ( π r 1 2 π a 2 ) × I , where I is total current

Magnetic field at P 1 is

B 1 = μ 0 × c u r r e n t e n c l o s e d p a t h

B 1 = μ 0 × ( π r 1 2 π a 2 ) × I 2 π r 1

= μ 0 × I r 1 2 π a 2

Now, magnetic field at point P 2 ,

AIEEE 2007 Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 149 English Explanation

B 2 = μ 0 2 π . I ( 2 a ) = μ 0 I 4 π a

Required ratio = B 1 B 2 = μ 0 I r 1 2 π a 2 × 4 π a μ 0 I

= 2 r 1 a = 2 × a 2 a = 1.

A long solenoid has 200 turns per c m and carries a current i . The magnetic field at its center is 6.28 × 10 2 W e b e r / m 2 . Another long solenoid has 100 turns per c m and it carries a current i 3 . The value of the magnetic field at its center is

A. 1.05 × 10 2 W e b e r / m 2

B. 1.05 × 10 5 W e b e r / m 2

C. 1.05 × 10 3 W e b e r / m 2

D. 1.05 × 10 4 W e b e r / m 2

Correct Answer is Option (A)

B 2 B 1 = μ 0 n 2 i 2 μ 0 n 1 i 1

B 2 6.28 × 10 2 = 100 × i 3 200 × i

B 2 = 6.28 × 10 2 6

= 1.05 × 10 2 W b / m 2

A current i ampere flows along an infinitely long straight thin walled tube, then the magnetic induction at any point inside the tube is

A. μ 0 4 π , 2 i r tesla

B. Zero

C. Infinite

D. 2 i r tesla

Correct Answer is Option (B)

Using Ampere's law at a distance r from axis, B is same from symmetry.

B . d l = μ 0 i

i.e., B × 2 π r = μ 0 i

Here i is zero, for r < R , whereas R is the radius

B = 0

A current i ampere flows along an infinitely long straight thin walled tube, then the magnetic induction at any point inside the tube is

A. μ 0 4 π , 2 i r tesla

B. Zero

C. Infinite

D. 2 i r tesla

Correct Answer is Option (B)

Using Ampere's law at a distance r from axis, B is same from symmetry.

B . d l = μ 0 i

i.e., B × 2 π r = μ 0 i

Here i is zero, for r < R , whereas R is the radius

B = 0
