Practice question
Question
A long wire carries 20 A . At what distance from the wire is the magnetic field 4 × 10⁻⁶T ? ( μ_0 = 4 π × 10⁻⁷T m/A )
Explanation
Given:
A long wire carries 20 A . At what distance from the wire is the magnetic field 4 × 10⁻⁶T ? ( μ_0 = 4 π × 10⁻⁷T m/A )
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
B = μ_0 I/2 π r, so r = μ_0 I/2 π B.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
r = frac4 π × 10⁻⁷ × 202 π × 4 × 10⁻⁶= frac8 × 10⁻⁶⁸ × 10⁻⁶= 1 m .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
