Physics Moving Charge and Magnetism Biot-Savart's Law and Amperes Law MCQ (Single Correct)

A current I flows along the length of an infinitely long, straight and thin-walled pipe. Then

A
The magnetic field at all points inside the pipe is the same but not zero
B
The magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero
C
The magnetic field is zero only on the axis of the pipe
D
The magnetic field is different at different points inside the pipe

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Using Ampere's circuital law over a circular loop of any radius less than the radius of the pipe, we can see that net current inside the loop is zero. Hence, magnetic field at every point inside the loop will be zero.
