NEET AIPMT SOLVED PAPER 1999

  • question_answer
                    A straight wire of diameter 0.5 mm carrying a current of 1A is replaced by another wire of diameter 1 mm carrying the same current. The strength of magnetic field far away is:    

    A)                 twice the earlier value

    B)                 one-half of the earlier value

    C)                 one quarter of the earlier value               

    D)                 same as earlier value     

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    For external points the current carrying wire behaves as if the whole current were concentrated at the axis, so magnetic field at far points from axis \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2\pi r}\]remains unaffected if diameter of wire is changed.
