A solid cylindrical wire of radius R carries a current I the magnetic field is 5μT at a point which is 2R distance away from the axis of wire. Magnetic field at a point which is R/3 distance inside from the surface of wire is?

Magnetic field at a distancerfrom the axis of the wire(whereris greater than radius of wire) isB_1=\dfrac{\mu_0i}{2\pi r}

Magnetic field at a distancer'from axis of wire(wherer'is smaller than radius) is

B_2=\dfrac{\mu_0i_{enc}}{2\pi r'}=\dfrac{\mu_0i(\dfrac{r'^2}{R^2})}{2\pi r'}=\dfrac{\mu_0 ir'}{2\pi R^2}
\implies \dfrac{B_2}{B_1}=\dfrac{r'r}{R^2}
\implies B_2=5\mu T\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{2R}{3})2R}{R^2}=6.66\mu T
