12th Class Physics Magnetism Question Bank MCQ - Moving Charges and Magnetism

  • question_answer
    The magnitude of the magnetic field of a long straight wire carrying a current of 1 A at a distance of 2 cm is:

    A) \[{{10}^{-5}}T\]                     

    B) \[{{10}^{-7}}T\]

    C) \[2\times {{10}^{-7}}T\]                      

    D) \[2\times {{10}^{-5}}T\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) \[{{10}^{-5}}T\] Here,        \[l=1A,x=2\,cm=0.02\,cm\] Magnetic field, \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}l}{2\pi x}\]             \[=\frac{4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}\times 1}{2\pi \times 0.02}=100\times {{10}^{-7}}={{10}^{-5}}T\].
