Meena draws magnetic field lines of fiel...

Meena draws magnetic field lines of field close to the axis of a current-carrying circular loop. As she moves away from the centre of the circular loop, she observes that the lines keep on diverging. How will you explain her observation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The strength of the magnetic field decreases with an increase in distance from the centre of the circular loop. This is indicated by the increasing divergence of the field lines.
