From Ampere's circuital law for a long straight wire of circular cross-section carrying a steady current, the variation of magnetic field in the inside and outside region of the wire is

  1. A linearly increasing function of distance r upto the boundary of the wire and then decreasing one with \(\frac{1}{r}\) dependence for the outside region
  2. A linearly decreasing function of distance upto the boundary of the wire and then a linearly increasing one of the outside region
  3. Uniform and remains constant for both the regions
  4. A linearly increasing function of distance upto the boundary of the wire and then linearly decreasing for the outside region

Answer

(A) A linearly increasing function of distance r upto the boundary of the wire and then decreasing one with 1 r dependence for the outside region
