The overhead horizontal power transmission line carries a current of 75 A from east to west direction. The magnetic field above it at a vertical distance of 1.2 m will be

  1. A \( 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T} \), towards south
  2. B \( 4.4 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T} \), towards west
  3. C \( 6.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T} \), towards north
  4. D \( 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T} \), towards north
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T} \), towards south

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}\) \(B = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 75}{2\pi \times 1.2} = 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}\), towards north
