Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross-section (radius $a$) carrying a steady current $I$. The current is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The distances from the centre of the wire's cross-section at which the magnetic field [inside the wire,outside the wire] is half of the maximum possible magnetic field,anywhere due to the wire,will be

$A$ horizontal overhead powerline is at a height of $4\ m$ from the ground and carries a current of $100\ A$ from east to west. The magnetic field directly below it on the ground is: (Given: $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, T \cdot m/A$)
