Figure A and B show long straight wires of circular cross section (a and b with a < b), carrying current I which is uniformly distributed across the cross section. The magnitude of magnetic field B varies with radius r and can be represented as:
Figure A and B show long straight wires of circular cross section (a and b with a < b), carrying current I which is uniformly distributed across the cross section. The magnitude of magnetic field B varies with radius r and can be represented as:
As b > a
The magnetic field inside the wire (r
For wire with radius a, B increases linearly to r=a, then decreases. For wire with radius b, B increases linearly to r=b, then decreases. Since a⇒ B? > B?
B? = µ? I / 2πa
B? = µ? I / 2πb
