A long thin hollow metallic cylinder of radius '' has a current ampere. The magnetic induction '' away from the axis at a distance from the axis varies as shown in






Important Questions on Sources of Magnetic Field
A coaxial cable is made up of two conductors. The inner conductor is solid and is of radius and the outer conductor is hollow of inner radius and outer radius 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

Figure shows the cross-sectional view of the hollow cylindrical conductor with inner radius ' ' and outer radius '', cylinder carrying uniformly distributed current along its axis. The magnetic induction at point ' ' at a distance from the axis of the cylinder will be


From a cylinder of radius a cylinder of radius is removed, as shown. Current flowing in the remaining cylinder is . Magnetic field strength is
