A current is set up in a long copper pipe. Is there a magnetic field (a) inside (b) outside the pipe?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Inside the pipe, the magnetic field is zero, but there is a finite value of the magnetic field outside the pipe.

A long, circular pipe, with an outside radius R, carries a (uniformly distributed) current i_0 (into the paper as shown in Fig.) A wire runs parallel to the pipe at a distance 3R from centre to centre. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the current in the wire that would cause the resultant magnetic field at point P to have the same magnitude, but the opposite direction, as the resultant field at the centre of the pipe.
