Current carried by conductor, $l=35 \mathrm{A}$

Distance, $r=20 \mathrm{cm}=0.2 \mathrm{m}$

Using Ampere's circuital law we get,

$B=\frac{\mu_{0} l}{2 \pi r}$

$=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 35}{2 \pi \times 0.20} \mathrm{T}$

$=3.5 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{T}$

    Consider the two idealised systems $(i)$ a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and $(ii)$ a long solenoid of length $L >> R$, radius of cross-section. In $(i)\, E$ ideally treated as a constant between plates and zero outside. In $(ii)$ magnetic field is constant inside the solenoid and zero outside. These idealised assumptions, however, contradict fundamental laws as below
