AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

The maximum magnetic field produced by a current of 12 A passing through a copper wire of diameter 1.2 mm is

  1. A 2 mT
  2. B 4 mT
  3. C 1.5 mT
  4. D 8 mT
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4 mT

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} \) \( B = \frac{(4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A})(12 \text{ A})}{2 \pi (0.6 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m})} \) \( B = 4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ T} \) \( B = 4 \text{ mT} \)
