According to Ampere's circuital equation, if the electric field inside the loop is constant, ∮ B.dl of the resultant magnetic fields along a closed, plane curve is equal to μ0 times the total current crossing the area limited by the closed curve.
\(\oint \vec{B}. \vec{dl} = μ _{0}I \) ----- (1)
for r > a we get: B.2πr = μ0I ⇒ B = μ0I /2πr ----- (2)
for r < a we get: B.2πr = μ0Ir2/ a2 ⇒ B = \(\frac{\mu _{0}Ir}{2\pi a^{2}} \) ----- (3)
Solution:
from equation 2 we get- B∝ 1/r for r>a region which means it is decreasing for this region.
from equation 3 we get- B∝ r for r<a region which means it is increasing for this region.
Hence option 4) is correct.
