The magnetic field $d\overrightarrow{B}$ due to a small current element $d\overrightarrow{l}$ at a distance $\overrightarrow{r}$ from an element carrying current $i$ is given by:

  • A
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r} \right)$
  • B
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i^2 \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r} \right)$
  • C
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i^2 \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r^2} \right)$
  • D
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r^3} \right)$

Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross-section (radius $a$) carrying a steady current $I$. The current is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The distances from the centre of the wire's cross-section at which the magnetic field [inside the wire,outside the wire] is half of the maximum possible magnetic field,anywhere due to the wire,will be

$A$ circular loop of radius $0.0157\,m$ carries a current of $2.0\,A$. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\,T\cdot m/A)$.

$A$ particle is moving with velocity $\overrightarrow{v} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j}$ and it produces an electric field at a point given by $\overrightarrow{E} = 2\hat{k}$. It will produce a magnetic field at that point equal to (all quantities are in $SI$ units):
