A long straight wire of circular cross-section (radius a) is carrying steady current I. The current I is
uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The magnetic field is
A.
uniform in the region and inversely proportional to distance from the axis, in the region
B.
zero in the region and inversely proportional to in the region
C.
directly proportional to in the region and inversely proportional to in the region
D.
inversely proportional to in the region and uniform throughout in the region
Correct Answer is Option (C)
The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire can be calculated using Ampere's law. When the
current is uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire, the situation will be
different inside and outside the wire.
Inside the wire (r < a), the magnetic field is directly proportional to r (the distance from the
center of the wire). This is because as you move away from the center of the wire, you enclose
more current, so the magnetic field increases linearly with r.
Outside the wire (r > a), all the current in the wire is enclosed, so the magnetic field
decreases with increasing r. This is a result of the magnetic field lines spreading out as
they move away from the wire.
