Ampere's Circuital Law - NEET Physics Questions
Question 1: easy

If a long hollow copper pipe carries a direct current, the magnetic field associated with the current will be :

1. only inside the pipe
2. only outside the pipe
3. both inside and outside the pipe
4. neither inside nor outside the pipe
View Answer

Inside the pipe current enclosed will be zero so magnetic field will also be zero. Outside the pipe there will be net Magnetic field

Question 2: easy

In a co-axial straight cable, the central conductor and the outer conductor have equal currents in opposite directions. The magnetic induction is zero :

1. inside the inner conductor
2. inside the outer conductor
3. in between the two conductors
4. outside the outer conductors
View Answer

As outside the conductor net current enclosed is zero. using ampere circuital law Magnetic field is also zero.

Question 3: easy

A solenoid consists of 100 turns of wire and has a length of 10.0cm. The magnetic field inside the solenoid when it carries a current of 0.500 A will be :

1. \[6.28\times 10^{-4} T\]
2. \[6.28\times 10^{-5} T\]
3. \[3.14\times 10^{-4} T\]
4. none of these
View Answer

\[ B= \mu_{0}ni \] where n is number of turns per unit length

n= 100/0.1=1000

i=0.5

substituting we get \[ B = 6.28\times 10^{-4} T\]

Question 4: easy

For the hollow thin cylindrical current carrying straight pipe which statement is correct:

1. Magnetic field inside the pipe is not zero.
2. Magnetic field outside the pipe is zero.
3. Electric field outside the pipe is zero.
4. Electric field on the surface of pipe is zero.
View Answer

Inside the hollow pipe, the magnetic field is zero according to Ampere's law. Since a current-carrying pipe is electrically neutral, the electric field outside the pipe is zero.
