Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 28 January (Evening Shift)

A long cylindrical conductor with large cross section carries an electric current distributed uniformly over its cross-section. Magnetic field due to this current is: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. B, C Only
  2. E Only
  3. A, D Only
  4. D Only

Answer

(4) D Only

Solution

By Ampere's circuital law for a uniform current I in a conductor of radius R:

Inside (r < R): B = 0 I r2 R2 r

Outside (r R): B = 0 I2 r

B = 0 on the axis and B is maximum at the surface.

A: For a long conductor the field does not change along its length — incorrect.

B: Field is zero (minimum), not maximum, at the axis — incorrect.

C: Field is maximum at the surface — incorrect.

D: Field is minimum (zero) at the axis — correct.

E: Field varies with r inside — incorrect.

D only
