Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. At what distance from a long straight wire carrying a current of 12 A will the magnetic field be equal to 3 × 10-5 Wb/m² ?​
    1. 8 × 10-2m
    2. 12 × 10-2m
    3. 18 × 10-2m
    4. 24 × 10-2m
Correct Option: A

Current (I) = 12 A and magnetic field (B) = 3 × 10–5 Wb/m². Consider magnetic field B at distance r.

Magnetic field , B =
μ0I
2πr

⇒ r =
μ0I
=
(4π × 10-7) × 12
= 8 × 10-2m
2πB2 × π × (3 × 10-5)
