JEE MAIN - Physics (2004 - No. 12)

A current $$i$$ ampere flows along an infinitely long straight thin walled tube, then the magnetic induction at any point inside the tube is
$${{{\mu _0}} \over {4\pi }},{{2i} \over r}$$ tesla
zero
infinite
$${{2i} \over r}$$ tesla

Explanation

Using Ampere's law at a distance $$r$$ from axis, $$B$$ is same from symmetry.

$$\int {B.dl = {\mu _0}i} $$

i.e., $$B \times 2\pi r = {\mu _0}i$$

Here $$i$$ is zero, for $$r < R,$$ whereas $$R$$ is the radius

$$\therefore$$ $$B=0$$
