Cross-section of an infinite cylinder is...

Cross-section of an infinite cylinder is shown. A current `I` uniformely distributed over its cross-section is flowing along its length. Now a cylinder of radius `R//2` is checked out of this. Then

A

magnetic fields at the centers of both cylinders is same both in magnitude and direction

B

magnetic fields at the centre of both cylideres is same in magnitude but opposite in direction

C

magnetic fields at the centres of both cylinders is same in direction but unequal in magnitude.

D

magnetic field at the centre of both cylinder is opposite in direction and unequal in magnetude

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

In a cylinderical cavity like this, magnetic field uniform, i.e., same both in magnitude and direction
