Ampere's circuital law

Question

A long straight current carrying conductor has a radius R. Magnetic field at a distance 2R from the axis of the conductor is 10 μT. Then magnetic field at a distance R/2 from the axis of the conductor is 

Moderate
Solution

μ0i2π(2R)=Bμ0i=4πRB=4πR x 10=40πR unit

At a distance R/2 from the axis of the conductor 

B'=μ02iπR2.R2=14(μ0i).1πR=14 x 40πR x 1πR=10 μT
