A uniform current is flowing along the length of an infinite, straight, thin, hollow cylinder of radius R. The magnetic field B produced at a perpendicular distance d from the axis of the cylinderis plotted in a graph. Which of the following figures looks like the plot?

Answer»





Solution :Applying Ampere's circuital law,
magnetic field at a POINT OUTSIDE the cylinder and located at a perpendicular distance d from its axis,
`B=(mu_(0)I)/(2pid)" if "dgtR`
If d=R then, `B=(mu_(0)I)/(2piR)`
If `dltR,B=0`
[SINCE no CURRENT flows inside a HOLLOW cylinder]
`:.Bprop(1)/(d)`
