JEE PYQ: Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 50
Question 50 - 2019 (12 Jan 2019 Shift 1)
The mean intensity of radiation on the surface of the Sun is about $10^8$ W/m$^2$. The rms value of the corresponding magnetic field is closest to:
(1) $1$ T
(2) $10^2$ T
(3) $10^{-2}$ T
(4) $10^{-4}$ T
Show Answer
Answer: (3) $10^{-2}$ T
Solution
$B_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{I\mu_0}{c}} \approx 10^{-2}$ T.
