Questions  

P and Q are two points at distances 10 cm and 20 cm from the axis of a long thin straight current carrying wire. Then the ratio of magnetic energy densities at P and Q is

a
2 : 1
b
4 : 1
c
8 : 1
d
16 : 1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

(2)At distance r from the axis of a current carrying wire,B=μ0i2πr  and  magneticenergy  density  u=B22μ0 =  μ0i28π2.r2  ⇒   u  ∝  1r2∴    uPuQ=  20102=4
