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

  • question_answer
    A current l flows along the Length of an infinitely long, straight thin walled pipe. Then:

    A) the magnetic field is same at all points, inside the pipe but not zero

    B) the magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero    

    C) the magnetic field is zero only on the axis of the pipe     

    D) the magnetic field is different at different points inside the pipe                                                     

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b) the magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero. Using Ampere circuital law over a circular loop of any radius less than the radius of the pipe, we can see that net current inside the loop is zero.                                     Hence, magnetic field at every point inside the loop will be zero.
