The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic induction at any point inside an infinitely long straight thin-walled tube carrying a current \( I \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Geometry**: - Visualize the thin-walled tube as a cylindrical shell with a circular cross-section. The current \( I \) flows uniformly along the circumference of the tube. 2. **Identify the Magnetic Field Inside the Tube**: - We need to determine the magnetic field at a point inside the tube. Since the tube is hollow, there is no current flowing through the area inside the tube. 3. **Apply Ampère's Circuital Law**: - According to Ampère's Circuital Law, the line integral of the magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) around a closed loop is equal to the permeability of free space \( \mu_0 \) times the total current \( I_{\text{enc}} \) enclosed by that loop: \[ \oint \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = \mu_0 I_{\text{enc}} \] 4. **Choose an Amperian Loop**: - Consider a circular Amperian loop of radius \( r \) inside the tube. Since the tube is hollow, the current enclosed by this loop is zero because all the current flows along the circumference of the tube. 5. **Evaluate the Integral**: - Since there is no current enclosed by the Amperian loop, we have: \[ I_{\text{enc}} = 0 \] - Therefore, applying Ampère's law gives: \[ \oint \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = \mu_0 \cdot 0 = 0 \] 6. **Conclude the Magnetic Field Inside the Tube**: - Since the line integral of the magnetic field around the loop is zero, it implies that the magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) inside the tube must also be zero: \[ \mathbf{B} = 0 \] ### Final Answer: The magnetic induction at any point inside the tube is \( \mathbf{B} = 0 \).
