Physics-Biot-Savart Law
NEET Physics Biot-Savart Law MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12
A long straight wire carries a current of 5 A. Using the Biot-Savart Law, calculate the magnetic field at a point 0.1 m away from the wire. (Take μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ TmA⁻¹).
A
1 × 10⁻⁵ T
B
2 × 10⁻⁶ T
C
3 × 10⁻⁶ T
D
4 × 10⁻⁵ T
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The magnetic field B at a distance r from a long wire is given by B = (μ₀/2π) * (I/r). Substituting the values, B = (4π × 10⁻⁷/2π) * (5/0.1) = 1 × 10⁻⁵ T.
