A steady electric current is flowing through a cylindrical conductor. Then,A. the electric field at the axis of the conductor is zeroB. the magnetic field at the axis of the conductor is zeroC. the electric field in the vicinity of the conductor is zeroD. the magnetic field in the vicinity of the conductor is zero

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
(b,c): If a current passes through any conductor, net charge through
any section is zero. Hence, electric field in the vicinity of the
conductor is zero. We can observe using Biot and Savitru law that
the magnetic field at the axis of the cylinderical wire will be zero.
Electric field at the axis of the wire cannot be zero otherwise the
current through the wire cannot flow.
