If a long hollow copper pipe carries a direct current, the magnetic field associated with the current will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Only outside the pipe

Option B (Only outside the pipe) is correct because, according to Ampere's law, the magnetic field inside a hollow conductor carrying a direct current is zero, and the field exists only outside.

What is order of energy of X-rays (

{E_X}

), radio waves (

{E_R}

) and microwave (

{E_M}

)? The amplitude of the sinusoidally oscillating electric field of plane wave is

60\,\,\frac{V}{m}

. Then the amplitude of the magnetic field is An EM wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are

{E_1} = {E_{01}}\hat x\cos \left[ {2\pi v\left( {\frac{z}{c} - t} \right)} \right]

in air and

{E_2} = {E_{02}}\hat x\cos \left[ {k\left( {2z - ct} \right)} \right]

in medium, where the wave number k and frequency ν refer to their values in air. The medium is non-magnetic.
