A current I ampere flows along an infinitely long straight thin walled tube, then the magnetic induction at any point inside the tube is
- (A)infinite
- (B)zero✓ Correct
- (C) tesla
- (D) tesla
Answer: (B)
Solution
Applying Ampere's circuital law to a loop drawn inside the hollow tube, the current it encloses is zero because all the current runs along the surface of the tube. Hence , and the magnetic field everywhere inside the tube is zero.
