A current I flows through an infinitely long, straight copper walled pipe. Then:

  1. A The magnetic field at all points inside the pipe is same, but not zero
  2. B The magnetic field is zero only on the axis
  3. C The magnetic field is different at different points inside the pipe
  4. D The magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) The magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If you consider an Amperian loop of radius \(r\) inside the pipe ( \(r\) < radius of pipe), the net current enclosed by that loop is zero. According to the law: \(\oint B \cdot d l=\mu_0 I_{\text {enclosed }}\) D) The magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero.
