The magnetic field induced in a material is independent of its thickness. Which of the following statements is correct?

  1. B = μ₀I / 2πr
  2. B = μ₀I / 2πr and so it is independent of thickness
  3. The current is same in both the wires, hence magnetic field induced will be same
  4. None of the above

Correct answer: B = μ₀I / 2πr and so it is independent of thickness

Solution

The magnetic field due to a current-carrying wire is given by B = μ₀I / 2πr, which depends on the current and the distance from the wire, but not on the thickness of the material.
