    A horizontal overhead power line carries a current of, 90 A in east to west direction. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to the current 1.5m below the line is

    A) \[2.5\times {{10}^{-5}}T\]towards north

    B)  \[3\times {{10}^{-5}}T\] towards east

    C)  \[1.2\times {{10}^{-5}}T\]towards south

    D)  \[1\times {{10}^{-5}}T\] towards west

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor is given by \[B=({{\mu }_{0}}/4\pi )2I/R\]\[={{10}^{-7}}\times 2\times 90/1.5=1.2\times {{10}^{-5}}T\]towards south.
