Assertion : A direct uniformly distributed current flows through a solid long metallic cylinder along its length. It produces magnetic field only outside the cylinder.

Reason : A thin long cylindrical tube carrying uniformly distributed current along its length produces a magnetic field inside it. Moreover, a solid cylinder can be supposed to be made up of many thin cylindrical tubes.

A coaxial cable is made up of two conductors. The inner conductor is solid and is of radius R1 the outer conductor is hollow of inner radius R2 and outer radius R3. The space between the conductors is filled with air. The inner and outer conductors are carrying currents of equal magnitudes and in opposite directions. Then the variation of magnetic field with distance from the axis is best plotted as
