Question
A current $$i$$ ampere flows along an infinitely long straight
thin walled tube, then the magnetic induction at any point inside the tube is
A.
$$\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{2i}}{r}\,{\text{tesla}}$$
B.
zero
C.
infinite
D.
$$\frac{{2i}}{r}\,{\text{tesla}}$$
Answer :
zero
Solution :
Using Ampere’s law at a distance $$r$$ from axis, $$B$$ is same from symmetry.
$$\int {B.dl = {\mu _0}i\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.,}}\,B \times 2\pi r = {\mu _0}i} $$
Here $$i$$ is zero, for $$r < R,$$ whereas $$R$$ is the radius
$$\therefore B = 0$$
