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

  • A
    inside the outer conductor
  • B
    in between the two conductors
  • C
    outside the cable
  • D
    inside the inner conductor

$A$ solenoid of length $0.5 \ m$ has a radius of $1 \ cm$ and is made up of $1000$ turns. It carries a current of $10 \ A$. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid?

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 $A$?

$A$ magnetic field of $100 \;G$ $(1 \;G = 10^{-4} \;T)$ is required which is uniform in a region of linear dimension about $10 \;cm$ and area of cross-section about $10^{-3} \;m^2$. The maximum current-carrying capacity of a given coil of wire is $15 \;A$ and the number of turns per unit length that can be wound round a core is at most $1000 \;turns \;m^{-1}$. Suggest some appropriate design particulars of a solenoid for the required purpose. Assume the core is not ferromagnetic.

$A$ long,straight wire of radius $a$ carries a current distributed uniformly over its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic fields due to the wire at distance $\frac{a}{3}$ and $2a$ respectively from the axis of the wire is
