The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Current, $i=q v$
$B=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{2 r}=\frac{\mu_{0} q v}{2 r}$
$=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 6.6 \times 10^{15}}{2 \times 0.53 \times 10^{-10}}$
$=\frac{2 \pi \times 1.6 \times 6.6}{5.3}=12.513\, T$

Magnetic Field

The magnetic field is a field created by moving electric charges. It is a force field that exerts a force on materials such as iron when they are placed in its vicinity. Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate; they can even propagate in a vacuum. Magnetic field also referred to as a vector field, describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, magnetic materials, and electric currents.

A magnetic field can be presented in two ways.

  • Magnetic Field Vector: The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force.
  • Magnetic Field Lines: An alternative way to represent the information contained within a vector field is with the use of field lines. Here we dispense with the grid pattern and connect the vectors with smooth lines.

Properties of Magnetic Field Lines

  • Magnetic field lines never cross each other
  • The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the field
  • Magnetic field lines always make closed-loops
  • Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
