Magnetic Field due to a Current — Physics STD 12 Science — Question

Question
A long cylindrical wire of radius b carries a current i distributed uniformly over its cross-section. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point inside the wire at a distance a from the axis.
✓

Answer

i is uniformly distributed throughout

So, ‘i’ for the part of radius $\text{a}=\frac{\text{i}}{\pi\text{b}^2}\times\pi\text{a}^2=\frac{\text{ia}^2}{\text{b}^2}=\text{I}$

Now according to Ampere’s circuital law,

$\phi\text{B}\times\text{d}\ell=\text{B}\times2\times\pi\times\text{a}=\mu_0\text{I}$

$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\mu_0\frac{\text{ia}^2}{\text{b}^2}\times\frac{1}{2\pi\text{a}}=\frac{\mu_0\text{ia}}{2\pi\text{b}^2}$
