The figure shows a long cylindrical straight wire of radius a carrying steady current (I). The current (I) is uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire. The ratio of the magnetic fields at points \(r=\frac{a}{3}\) and \(r=\frac{a}{2^{\prime}}\) respectively is: Here r is the distance of point from the axis of cylinder.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2:3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B = \frac{\mu_0 I r}{2\pi a^2}\) \(B_1 = B(r=a/3) = \frac{\mu_0 I (a/3)}{2\pi a^2} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{6\pi a}\) \(B_2 = B(r=a/2) = \frac{\mu_0 I (a/2)}{2\pi a^2} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi a}\)…
