Q1medium

A long straight wire of radius RR carries a steady current II uniformly distributed over its cross-section. Which of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of magnetic field BB with distance rr from the center of the wire?

Q2easy

A long solenoid has 1000 turns per meter and carries a current of 5,A5,\text{A}. What is the magnetic field inside the solenoid?

Q3medium

An Amperian loop encloses two parallel wires. Wire 1 carries a current of 3,A3,\text{A} out of the page, and Wire 2 carries a current of 5,A5,\text{A} into the page. If the Amperian loop is traversed clockwise (when viewed from above), what is the net current enclosed (IencI_{enc})?

Q4medium

Which of the following statements about Ampere's Law is INCORRECT?

Q5medium

A toroid has a total of NN turns and carries a current II. The inner radius is R1R_1 and the outer radius is R2R_2. What is the magnetic field at a point inside the toroid at a radial distance rr such that R1<r<R2R_1 < r < R_2?

Q6medium

A coaxial cable consists of an inner solid conductor of radius aa carrying current II and a thin outer cylindrical shell of radius bb carrying current II in the opposite direction. What is the magnetic field in the region between the inner conductor and the outer shell (a<r<ba < r < b)?

Q7hard

A very long cylindrical conductor of radius RR has a cylindrical hole of radius aa bored through its entire length. The axis of the hole is parallel to the axis of the conductor and is at a distance dd from it. The conductor carries a uniform current density JJ. What is the magnetic field at the center of the hole?
