A thick current carrying cable of radius 'R' carries current 'I' uniformly distributed across its cross-section. The variation of magnetic field B(r) due to the cable with the distance 'r' from the axis of the cable is represented by
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
From Ampere's circuital law, if . if . Hence the correct plot of magnetic field B with distance r from axis of cable is given as shown in the diagram.
