A long straight wire of resistance R, radius a and length l carries a constant current I. The Poynting vector for the wire will be

a
IR2πal
b
IR2al
c
I2Ral
d
I2R2πal

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Electric field E=vl=iRl  (R = Resistance of wire)Magnetic field at the surface of wire B=μ0i2πa  (a = radius of wire)Hence poynting vector, directed radially inward is given by  S=EBμ0=iRμ0l.μ0i2πa=i2R2πal
