JEE PHYSICS MCQ: MAGNETIC EFFECT OF CURRENT

1 Medium
1 of 1
Application +4 | -1
A long straight wire with a circular cross-section having radius RR, is carrying a steady current II. The current II is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. Then the variation of magnetic field due to current II with distance r (r<R)r\,(r < R) from its centre will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
B∝rB \propto r
Option B (B∝rB \propto r) is correct because, according to Ampere's law, the magnetic field inside a long straight wire with uniform current distribution is directly proportional to the distance from the center.
