An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of 150 A. At what distance from the conductor is the magnetic field caused by the current equal to \( 10^{-4} \text{ T} \)?

  1. A 1.5 m
  2. B 0.3 m
  3. C 3.0 m
  4. D 0.15 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.3 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} \) \( r = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi B} \) \( r = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A}) \times (150 \text{ A})}{2\pi \times (10^{-4} \text{ T})} = 0.3 \text{ m} \)
