Question 33 of 276

In a co-axial straight cable, the central conductor and the outer conductor carry equal currents in opposite directions. The magnetic field is zero :

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) outside the cable


∮B→⋅dℓ⃗=μ0ienc=0\oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot \mathrm{d} \vec{\ell}=\mu_0 \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{enc}}=0
∴B=0\therefore \mathrm{B}=0 outside the cable
