    20 ampere current is flowing in a long straight wire. The intensity of magnetic field at a distance \[10\,\,cm\] from the wire will be:

    A) \[2\times {{10}^{-5}}wb/{{m}^{2}}\]      

    B) \[9\times {{10}^{-5}}wb/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[8\times {{10}^{-5}}wb/{{m}^{2}}\]      

    D) \[6\times {{10}^{-5}}wb/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here:\[i=20\,\,A,\,\,r=10\,\,cm=0.1\,\,m\] Intensity of magnetic field produced due to straight current carrying wire is                 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}\]                 \[={{10}^{-7}}\times \frac{2\times 20}{0.1}\]                 \[=4\times {{10}^{-5}}wb/{{m}^{2}}\]
