A long straight wire carries a current of 35 A. The magnitude of the field B at a point 20 cm from the wire would be: |
$5.3 × 10^{-5} T$ $3.5 × 10^{-6} T$ $3.5 × 10^{-5} T$ $53 × 10^{-7} T$ |
$3.5 × 10^{-5} T$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $3.5 × 10^{-5} T$ Magnetic field around a straight wire - $B=\frac{μ_0I}{2πr}$ I (Current) = 5 A $r$ (distance from wire) = 0.20 m $∴B=\frac{4π×10^{-7}×35}{2π×0.20}$ $=3.5 × 10^{-5} T$ |
