A cylindrical conductor of radius is carrying a constant current. The plot of the magnitude of the magnetic field with the distance from the center of the conductor, is correctly represented by the figure:




To solve this problem, we need to analyze the magnetic field inside and outside a cylindrical conductor carrying a constant current.1. Inside the conductor The magnetic field inside a cylindrical conductor is given by Ampère's Law:where is the permeability of free space, is the current, and is the distance from the center.This shows that is directly proportional to 2. Outside the conductor The magnetic field outside the conductor is given by:This shows that is inversely proportional to 3. Analyzing the options:• Option 1: Shows a decreasing curve starting from • Option 2: Shows a sharp decrease at • Option 3: Shows a linear increase up to and then a decrease.• Option 4: Shows a linear increase and then a constant value.The correct representation is Option 3, which shows:• A linear increase in from the center to • A decrease in beyond Therefore, the correct option is Option 3.
