Expert Answer:
By Ampere's law , magnetic field induction B near current carrying wire is given as
.........................(1)
where μo is permeability of free space , r is radial distance from central axis of wire and
Ienc is enclosed current within the circle of radius drawn with axis of wire as centre.
Let I be the current passing through wire of circular cross section radius R .
At a point , which is at distance r from centre of wire crosssection , within the wire ( r < R ),
magnetic field induction B(r) is obtained from eqn.(1) by substituting enclosed current.
Ienc = crosssection area of radius r × current density = ( π r2 ) × [ I / ( π R2 ) ] = I × ( r2 / R2 )
where I is the current passing through wire.
Magnetic field induction B(r) , when r < R is given as
...................................(2)
At a radial distance r = R , i.e., when the point is on the surface of wire ,
Magnetic field induction B(r) is obtained from eqn.(2) by substituting r = R
....................... (3)
At a radial distance r > R , i.e., when the point is outside the wire , enclosed current is simply I
Hence we get magnetic field induction B from eqn.(1) as
Plot of the magnetic field induction as a finction of radial distance is shown in figure.
