Magnetic Field of Straight Wires

The strength of magnetic field at a perpendicular distance ' xx ' near a long straight conductor carrying current ' I ' is ' B '. The magnetic field at a distance x3\frac{x}{3} from straight conductor will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. B∝1xB \propto \dfrac{1}{x} for a long straight conductor.
  2. At x3\dfrac{x}{3}: B′=3BB' = 3B
  3. So the answer is (b) 3B.
