Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 28

Question: A current i ampere flows along the inner conductor of a coaxial cable and returns along the outer conductor of the cable, then the magnetic induction at any point outside the conductor at a distance r metre from the axis is

Options:

A) $ \infty $

B) Zero

C) $ \frac{{\mu_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r} $

D) $ \frac{{\mu_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{2\pi ,i}{r} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

The respective figure is shown below Magnetic field at P due to inner and outer conductors are equal and opposite. Hence net magnetic field at P will be zero.
