AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

In a wire of radius 1 mm, a steady current of 2 A uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire is flowing. Then the magnetic field at a point 0.25 mm from the centre of the wire is

  1. A \(100 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(200 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C \(300 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
  4. D \(400 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(100 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B = \frac{\mu_0 I r}{2 \pi R^2} \) \( B = \frac{(4 \pi \times 10^{-7}) (2 \text{ A}) (0.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m})}{2 \pi (1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m})^2} \) \( B = 1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \) \( B = 100 \mu \text{T} \)
