Question:

The imaginary loop assumed just outside the current carrying conductor which helps in determining the magnetic field due to the conductor is called :

Options:

Gaussian Surface

Newton's Rings

Amperian Loop

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Amperian Loop

Explanation:

The concept of determining the magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor by imagining a loop just outside the conductor was given by Ampere in Ampere's Circuital Law. Hence, the loop is called Amperian Loop.
