If the strength of the magnetic field produced 10cm away from a infinitely long straight conductor is `10^(-5)"Weber"//m^(2)` , the value of the current flowing in the conductor will be

A

5 ampere

B

10 ampere

C

500 ampere

D

1000 ampere

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

`B = (mu_(0) I)/(2pi r) implies 10^(-5) = (10^(-7) xx 2 xx I)/(0.1)`
`implies I = (10^(-6))/(2 xx 10^(-7)) = 5 A `
