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

B
The magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero
b (b) Applying Ampere’s law $\oint {B.dl = {\mu _0}i} $ to any closed path inside the pipe we find no current is enclosed. Hence $B = 0$.

Currents of a $10\, ampere$ and $2\, ampere$ are passed through two parallel thin wires $A$ and $B$ respectively in opposite directions. Wire $A$ is infinitely long and the length of the wire $B$ is $2\, m$. The force acting on the conductor $B$, which is situated at $10\, cm$ distance from $A$ will be
A proton moving with a constant velocity, passes through a region of space without change in its velocity. If $E$ $\& B$ represent the electric and magnetic fields respectively, this region may have
The ratio of the magnetic field at the centre of a current carrying coil of the radius $a$ and at a distance ‘$a$’ from centre of the coil and perpendicular to the axis of coil is
A charge having $q/m$ equal to $10^8\, C/kg$ and with velocity $3 \times 10^5\, m/s$ enters into a uniform magnetic field $0.3\, tesla$ at an angle $30^o$ with direction of field. The radius of curvature will be ......$cm$
A microammeter has a resistance of $100\,\Omega $ and full scale range of $50\,\mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or as a higher range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination
