How will the strength of the magnetic field change when the point where magnetic field is to be determined is moved away from the straight conductor ? Give reason to justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The strength of magnetic field due to a current-carrying straight conductor is inversely proportional to the normal distance between the conductor and the point where magnetic field is to be determined. So as the point as moved away the strength of the magnatic field goes on decreasing.
