A steady current I flows along an infinitely long hollow cylindrical conductor of radius R. This cylinder is placed coaxially inside an infinite solenoid of radius 2R. The solenoid has n turns per unit length and carries a steady current I. Consider a point P at a distance r from the common axis. The correct statement(s) is (are).
  1. In the region 0 < r < R, the magnetic field is non-zero.
  2. In the region R < r < 2R, the magnetic field is along the common axis.
  3. In the region R < r < 2R, the magnetic field is tangential to the circle of radius r, centered on the axis.
  4. In the region r > 2R, the magnetic field is non-zero.

Answer

(C) In the region R R , the magnetic field is tangential to the circle of radius r , centered on the axis.
