A long wire with a small current element of length 1 cm is placed at the origin and carries a current of 10 A along the x-axis. The magnitude of the magnetic field, due to the element, on the y-axis at a distance \( r = 0.5 \, m \) from it, would be

  1. A \( 4 \times 10^{-8} \, T \)
  2. B \( 5 \times 10^{-8} \, T \)
  3. C \(6 \times 10^{-8} \, T \)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{-8} \, T \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 4 \times 10^{-8} \, T \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I \, dl \sin\theta}{r^2} \) \( dB = (10^{-7}) \frac{(10)(0.01)\sin(90^\circ)}{(0.5)^2} \) \( dB = 4 \times 10^{-8} \, T \)
