A thick current carrying cable of radius carries current uniformly distributed across its cross-section. The variation of magnetic field due to the cable with the distance from the axis of the cable is represented by:




To solve this problem, we will use Ampère's Law to find the magnetic field inside and outside the cable.Given:• Radius of the cable • Total current uniformly distributed across the cross-section1. Inside the cable Consider a circular path of radius inside the cable.The current enclosed by this path is proportional to the area:Using Ampère's Law:This shows that is directly proportional to inside the cable.2. Outside the cable Consider a circular path of radius outside the cable.The entire current is enclosed by this path.Using Ampère's Law:This shows that is inversely proportional to outside the cable.Combining both regions, the graph of is:• Linear increase inside the cable ().• Hyperbolic decrease outside the cable ().The correct graph is represented by Option 3.
