NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

From Ampere's circuital law for a long straight wire of circular cross-section carrying a steady current, the variation of magnetic field in the inside and outside region of the wire is :

  1. A a linearly increasing function of distance upto the boundary of the wire and then linearly decreasing for the outside region.
  2. B  a linearly increasing function of distance \(r\) upto the boundary of the wire and then decreasing one with \(1 / r\) dependence for the outside region.
  3. C a linearly decreasing function of distance upto the boundary of the wire and then a linearly increasing one for the outside region.
  4. D uniform and remains constant for both the regions.
