The magnetic field at a perpendicular distance of one metre from a wire carrying current of \(1 \mathrm{~A}\) is

  1. A \(2 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C \(2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~T}\)
  4. D \(2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field due to wire is given by, \[ \begin{aligned} & B=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi r} \\ & B=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 1}{2 \pi \times 1}=2 \times 10^{-7} T \end{aligned} \]
