A current i ampere flows along the inner conductor of a coaxial cable and returns along the outer conductor of the cable, then the magnetic induction at any point outside the conductor at a distance r metre from the axis is

a
b
Zero
c
μ04π  2ir
d
μ04π  2πir

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The respective figure is shown below. Magnetic field at P due to inner and outer conductors are equal and opposite. Hence, net magnetic field at P will be zero.
