Question:

A long straight wire carries a current of π amp. The magnetic field due to it will be 5×10−5 weber/m2 at what distance from the wire (in metre) ?

Options:

104 μ0 / π

106 μ0 

104 μ0 

106 μ0 / π

Correct Answer:

104 μ0 

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long wire : B = \(\frac{\mu_{o}}{2\pi}\) \(\frac{I}{r}\)

I : current 

r : distance

r = \(\frac{\mu_{o}}{2\pi}\) \(\frac{I}{B}\) 

  = 104 μ0
