AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

The magnetic field at a distance of 10 cm from a long straight thin wire carrying a current of 4 A is

  1. A \(6 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(16 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C \(8 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
  4. D \(4 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8 \mu \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} \) \( B = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A})(4 \text{ A})}{2 \pi (0.1 \text{ m})} \) \( B = 8 \times 10^{-6} \text{ T} = 8 \mu \text{T} \)
