MCQ
 What is the magnetic field inside a pipe?
  • A
    Unity
  • B
    Infinity
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    Two

Answer

  1. Zero

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside a pipe, i.e. inside a hollow cylindrical wire is zero.

This is due to the symmetry of the situation (pipe).

The pipe can be considered as a series of thin wires arranged in a circle.
