Formula used:

Ampere’s circuital law states that the line integral of the magnetic field for a closed surface is μ₀ times the current enclosed by the surface.

,

where B = magnetic field, dl = line element, μ₀ = magnetic permeability of vacuum, I = current enclosed.

Diagram:

(a) Now, since inside a conductor, the current enclosed is 0, in Ampere’s circuital law, we put I = 0.

Hence, the magnetic field at a distance r/2 from the surface inside the tube is 0. (Ans).

(b) Now, for any point outside the tube, the current enclosed will be given by Ampere’s circuital law:

Where

B = magnetic field,

dl = line element,

μ₀ = magnetic permeability of vacuum,

I = current enclosed.

Now, since we have to find the magnetic field at a distance r/2 from the surface,

we consider an Amperian loop of radius from the centre of the loop.

The total current enclosed will be i, since we are considering a loop outside the tube.

Hence,

,

since = circumference of the Amperian loop.

Hence, we get, B(at a distance r/2 from the surface outside the tube) =(Ans)
