A long, straight wire of radius R carries a current distributed uniformly over its cross section. The magnitude of the magnetic field is

A

(i),(ii)

B

(ii),(iii)

C

(i),(iii)

D

(i),(iv)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`r lt R: B=(mu_(0)Ir)/(2piR^(2)), (B propr)`
`r lt R: B=(mu_(0)I)/(2piR), (B prop1/r)`
`r = R: B=(mu_(0)I)/(2piR)=B_(max)`
