Questions  

A long, straight wire of radius a caries a current  distributed uniformly over its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic fields due to the wires at  distance a3  and 2a. respectively from the axis of the wire is :

a
1/2
b
3/2
c
2/3
d
2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

At inside point P , Bp=μ0ia32πa2=μ0i6πa  because    i α π R2 and ix α πx2At outside point Q , Bq=μ0i2π2a∴Ratio =BpBq=23
