Solution
(a) The magnetic field inside any conducting tube is always zero.
∴ Magnetic field inside the tube at a distance r/2 from the surface = 0
(b) Let the point outside the tube with distance \[\frac{r}{2}\] be P.
∴ Net distance from centre, r' = \[r + \frac{r}{2} = \frac{3r}{2}\]
Length of the loop, l = \[2\pi \times \frac{3}{2}r = 3\pi r\]
On applying Ampere's law, we get
\[ \Rightarrow B \times 3\pi r = \mu_0 i\]
\[ \Rightarrow B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{3\pi r}\]
