Magnetic field d B to a current element at any point on its axis is _____

Magnetic field dB to a current element at any point on its axis is _____
  1. minimum
  2. zero
  3. yaries between minimum and maximum
  4. depends on the position of the point

Solution

From the Biot-Savart's law, Magnetic field due to current element

dB=μoidlsinθ4πr2

The magnetic field on a current element is directly proportional to the sine of the angle between the current element and the position vector.

The angle for a point on axis θ=0

so dB=0
