Inside a hollow pipe carrying current, the magnetic field is zero, since according to Ampere's law, \mathrm{B_{\mathrm{i}} .2 \pi \mathrm{r}=\mu_0 \times 0 \Rightarrow B_{\mathrm{i}}=0}
But for external points, the current behaves as if it was concentrated at the axis only; so, outside,  \mathrm{B_0=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi r}}.
