A long, straight wire of radius \(R\) carries a current distributed uniformly over its cross-section. The magnitude of the magnetic field is:
| (a) | maximum at the axis of the wire |
| (b) | minimum at the axis of the wire |
| (c) | maximum at the surface of the wire |
| (d) | minimum at the surface of the wire. |
Choose the correct option from the given ones:
| 1. | (a) and (b) only |
| 2. | (b) and (c) only |
| 3. | (c) and (d) only |
| 4. | (a) and (d) only |
| 1. | \(\Large\frac{I}{\pi R^2}\) | 2. | \(\Large\frac{I}{2\pi R}\) |
| 3. | \(\Large\frac{2I}{\pi R}\) | 4. | \(\Large\frac{I}{2 R}\) |
