A straight long wire carrying a current of 30 A is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \, T \) parallel to the current. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at a point 2 cm away from the wire is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \times 10^{-4} \, T \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B_{wire} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r} = \frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 30}{2 \pi \times 0.02} = 3 \times 10^{-4} \, T \)…
