Physics-Ampere's Law
NEET Physics Ampere's Law MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Consider an Amperian loop which is a closed circular path of radius r centered on a long straight wire carrying a current I. According to Ampere's Law, which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the magnetic field B at a distance r from the wire and the current I for r > a, where a is the radius of the wire?
A
B is directly proportional to I and inversely proportional to r.
B
B is directly proportional to r and inversely proportional to I.
C
B is directly proportional to I and directly proportional to r.
D
B is inversely proportional to I and inversely proportional to r.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Ampere's Law states that for a long straight wire, B(2πr) = μ0I, which implies B is proportional to I/r for r > a.
