AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

In a co-axial, straight cable, the central conductor and the outer conductor carry equal currents in opposite directions. The magnetic field is zero

  1. A outside the cable
  2. B inside the inner conductor
  3. C inside the outer conductor
  4. D in between the two conductors
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) outside the cable

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since the current carried by the outer and inner are equal and in opposite direction, magnetic field produced by the cylinders at a point P(distance r from central axis) is ⇒B→outer=μo4πidl→×r→r3…
