A hallow cylindrical wire carries current I, having inner & outer radius R & 2R respectively. Magnetic field at a point which is 5R/4 distance away from the wire :\[\frac{5\mu_{0}I}{18\pi R}\]
\[\frac{\mu_{0}I}{36\pi R}\]
\[\frac{5\mu_{0}I}{36\pi R}\]
\[\frac{3}{40}\frac{\mu_{0}I}{\pi R}\]
Solution:
To solve for the magnetic field at a distance of from the axis of a hollow cylindrical wire carrying current , with inner radius and outer radius , we use Ampère's Law. The key steps are:
1. Magnetic Field Inside a Hollow Cylinder
For (points within the shell of the cylinder):
- Current density is uniform, given by:
- The current enclosed within a radius (where ) is:
Substituting :
- Using Ampère's Law:
2. Magnetic Field at
Since lies within the shell (), substitute into the above equation:
Simplify:
- ,
- .
Thus:
Simplify further:
Final simplification:
