Choose the correct answer statements from the following: A. Magnetic field lines due to a straight wire carrying current, are circles concentric with the wire. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
B and D only A, B and D only B and C only A, C and D only |
A, C and D only |
The correct answer is Option (4) → A, C and D only (A) The magnetic field around a straight current carrying conductor forms concentric circles centered on the wire, as per ampere's law and right hand rule. (C) Ampere's circuital law can be derived from the Biot-savart law. Hence, ampere's law is not independent and is essentially a special case for Biot-savart law. (D) Magnetic Dip (or inclination) is the angle between the earth's magnetic field and the horizontal surface of the earth at a given location. |
