Application +4 | -1

A horizontal overhead power line carries a current of

90 \mathrm{~A}

in east to west direction. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to the current,

1.5 \mathrm{~m}

below the line?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

1.2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}

towards south

Option A is correct because the magnetic field is calculated using the formula for the magnetic field around a long straight wire, and the direction is determined by the right-hand rule.

Which of the following statements is not true A current loop in a magnetic field Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: The magnetic field due to current carrying a circular loop of radius

5 \mathrm{~cm}
