    The direction of induced magnetic field d \[\mathbf{\vec{B}}\] due to current element id \[\vec{L}\] at a point of distance r from it, when a current i passes through a long conductor is in the direction

    A)  of position vector \[\vec{r}\] of the point

    B)  of current element d \[\vec{L}\]

    C)  perpendicular to both d \[\vec{L}\]and \[\vec{r}\]

    D)  perpendicular to d \[\vec{L}\] only

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Biot-Savart law states\[d\overrightarrow{B}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{id\overrightarrow{L}\times \overrightarrow{r}}{{{r}^{3}}}\] \[\therefore \]Direction of\[d\overrightarrow{B}\]is perpendicular to both\[d\overrightarrow{L}\] and \[\overrightarrow{r}\].
