A current of 2 A is maintained in a long straight conductor placed in air. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2 m from the conductor.

  1. A \(5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} \)
  2. B \( 4 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} \)
  3. C \( 3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} \)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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