Ampere's Law, Cylinders, Solenoid & Toroid
A cylindrical conductor of radius R is carrying a constant current. The plot of the magnitude of the magnetic field B with the distance d from the centre of the conductor, is correctly represented by the figure:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Uniform current: inside .
- Outside: .
- So the graph is a straight line up to , then a fall: answer (c).
