Physics Question on Electric Current

A long cylindrical wire of radius R carries a uniform current I flowing through it. The variation of magnetic field with distance ‘r’ from the axis of the wire is shown by

A

A long cylindrical wire of radius R

B

A long cylindrical wire of radius R

C

A long cylindrical wire of radius R

D

A long cylindrical wire of radius R

Answer

A long cylindrical wire of radius R

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (C): A long cylindrical wire of radius R
The magnetic field increases as the point moves closer to the boundary of the wire and decreases as it moves away from the boundary of the wire.
