A current of 2A is maintained in a long straight conductor placed in air. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2 m from the conductor. |
$5×10^{-7} T$ $4×10^{-7} T$ $3×10^{-7} T$ $2×10^{-7} T$ |
$2×10^{-7} T$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $2×10^{-7} T$ Using Ampere's Law, $B=\frac{μ_0I}{2πR}$ $=\frac{(4π×10^{-7})×2}{2π×2}$ $=\frac{8π×10^{-7}}{4π}=2×10^{-7} T$ |
