A steady current flows along an infinitely long hollow cylindrical conductor of radius . This cylinder is placed co-axially inside an infinite solenoid of radius . The solenoid has turns per unit length and carries a steady current . Consider a point at a distance from the common axis. The correct statement(s) is(are):
- A In the region , the magnetic field is non-zero.
- B In the region , the magnetic field is along the common axis.
- C In the region , the magnetic field is tangential to the circle of radius , centered on the axis.
- D In the region the magnetic field is non-zero.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) In the region the magnetic field is non-zero.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
If we consider a point at a distance from a common axis such that , the magnetic field is non-zero because inside infinite solenoid magnetic field is, and due to the hollow cylinder it is zero. Hence, net magnetic field is non-zero.
If , then magnetic field due to an infinite solenoid is zero but there will be a non-zero magnetic field because of hollow cylinder. Hence, net magnetic field is non-zero.
