6. C
Magnetic field due to sheet is uniform.
7. As the observation point lies inside the solid conductor, the magnetic field produced at the observation point is
not due to the total current, which passes through the conductor. To find the magnetic field at a point P at
distance r = 3 cm due to the current carrying conductor, imagine a circular path of radius r around the
conductor, such that points P lies on it. If R is the radius of the solid conductor, then current enclosed by the
circular path.

Let B be magnetic field at point P due to the current carrying conductor. The magnetic field B acts tangential to
the circular path and its magnitude is same at every point on it.
Therefore, according to Ampere’s circular line.
