Questions  

A long, straight, hollow conductor (tube) carrying a current has two sections A and C of unequal cross-section joined by a conical section B. 1, 2 and 3 are points on a line parallel to the axis of the conductor. The magnetic fields at 1, 2 and 3 have magnitudes B1 , B2 and B3 . Then

a
B1 = B2 = B3
b
B1=B2≠B3
c
B1
d
B2 cannot be found unless the dimensions of the section B are known

detailed solution

Correct option is A

To find the magnetic field outside a thick conductor, the current may be assumed to flow along the axis. As points 1, 2, 3 are equidistant from the axis, B1 = B2 = B3
