Two long conductors are arranged as shown above to form overlapping cylinders,each of radius $r$,whose centers are separated by a distance $d$. Current of density $J$ flows into the plane of the page along the shaded part of one conductor and an equal current flows out of the plane of the page along the shaded portion of the other,as shown. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point $A$?

  • A
    $(\mu_0/2\pi) \pi dJ$,in the $+y$-direction
  • B
    $(\mu_0/2\pi) d^2/r$,in the $+y$-direction
  • C
    $(\mu_0/2\pi) 4d^2J/r$,in the $-y$-direction
  • D
    $\mu_0 J d/2$,in the $+y$-direction

$A$ long straight wire with a circular cross-section having radius $R$ is carrying a steady current $I$. The current $I$ is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. Then the variation of magnetic field due to current $I$ with distance $r$ $(r < R)$ from its centre will be:

$A$ long wire carrying a current of $18 \,A$ is kept along the axis of a long solenoid of radius $1 \,cm$. The magnetic field due to the solenoid is $8.0 \times 10^{-3} \,T$. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at a point $0.6 \,mm$ from the solenoid axis is (Assume $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \,Tm/A$):

If $B$ is the magnetic field and $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space,then the dimensions of $(B / \mu_0)$ are:
