Detailed Solution

Magnetic field due to a thick circular cross section rod can be calculated by Ampere’s circuital law.
If total current is I, then current per unit area is IπR2 where R is the radius of the rod.
Considering a point inside, at a distance ‘r’ from the centre, current enclosed in the region, i=IπR2πr2.
According to Ampere’s circuital law,
  Bd=μ0iB2πr=μ0IπR2πr2B=μ0Ir2πR2
So, B is directly proportional to r inside the conductor.
If the point is outside,   Bd=μ0I,as total current is enclosed.
B=μ0l2πr
Hence, B is inversely proportional to distance r.
