The solenoid has a `n` turns per unit length and carries a steady current `I`. Consider a point `p` at a distance `r` from the common axis . The correct statement(s) is (are)

A

In the region `0 lt r lt R`, the magnetic field is non-zero.

B

In the region `R lt r lt 2R`, the magnetic field is along the common axis.

C

In the region `R lt r lt 2R`, the magnetic field is tangential to the circle of radius `r` centered on the axis.

D

In the region `r lt 2R`, the magnetic field is non-zero.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the magnetic fields produced by both the hollow cylindrical conductor and the infinite solenoid at various distances from the common axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a hollow cylindrical conductor of radius \( R \) carrying a steady current \( I \). - This conductor is placed coaxially inside an infinite solenoid of radius \( 2R \), which also carries a steady current \( I \) and has \( n \) turns per unit length. 2. **Magnetic Field Inside the Hollow Cylinder**: - According to Ampere's Law, the magnetic field inside a hollow cylindrical conductor (for \( r < R \)) is zero because there is no current enclosed by the Amperian loop. - Therefore, for \( 0 < r < R \), the magnetic field \( B = 0 \). 3. **Magnetic Field Outside the Hollow Cylinder but Inside the Solenoid**: - For \( R < r < 2R \), we need to consider the contributions from both the hollow cylinder and the solenoid. - The magnetic field due to the hollow cylinder (for \( r > R \)) can be calculated using Ampere's Law: \[ B_{\text{cylinder}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} \] - The magnetic field inside the solenoid (for \( r < 2R \)) is given by: \[ B_{\text{solenoid}} = \mu_0 n I \] - Therefore, for \( R < r < 2R \), the total magnetic field is the vector sum of both contributions. 4. **Magnetic Field Outside the Solenoid**: - For \( r > 2R \), the magnetic field due to the solenoid is zero (as the magnetic field outside an infinite solenoid is zero). - However, the hollow cylindrical conductor still contributes a magnetic field: \[ B_{\text{cylinder}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} \] - Thus, for \( r > 2R \), the magnetic field is non-zero due to the hollow cylinder. 5. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "In the region \( 0 < r < R \), the magnetic field is non-zero." - **False** (since \( B = 0 \) in this region). - **Statement B**: "In the region \( R < r < 2R \), the magnetic field is along the common axis." - **False** (the magnetic field is not purely along the axis due to the contributions from both the solenoid and the hollow cylinder). - **Statement C**: "In the region \( R < r < 2R \), the magnetic field is tangential to the circle of radius \( R \) centered on the axis." - **False** (the magnetic field is not purely tangential). - **Statement D**: "In the region \( r > 2R \), the magnetic field is non-zero." - **True** (the magnetic field exists due to the hollow cylindrical conductor). ### Final Conclusion: - The correct statements are **D** only.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the magnetic fields produced by both the hollow cylindrical conductor and the infinite solenoid at various distances from the common axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a hollow cylindrical conductor of radius \( R \) carrying a steady current \( I \). - This conductor is placed coaxially inside an infinite solenoid of radius \( 2R \), which also carries a steady current \( I \) and has \( n \) turns per unit length. ...
