Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. The magnetic induction at a point P which is at a distance of 4 cm from a long current carrying wire is 10-3 T. The field of induction at a distance 12 cm from the current will be
    1. 3.33 × 10-4 T ​
    2. 1.11 × 10-4 T
    3. ​3 × 10-3T ​
    4. 9 × 10-3 T
Correct Option: A

B =
μ0I
⇒ B ∝
1
2πrr

As the distance is increased to three times, the magnetic induction reduces to one third. Hence,
B =
1
× 10-3 tesla = 3.33 × 10-4 tesla
