A vertical straight conductor carries a current vertically upwards. A point `P` lies to the east of it at a small distance and another point `Q` lies to the west at the same distance. The magnetic field at `P` is

A

equal to magnetic field at Q

B

smaller than the magnetic field at Q.

C

greater than the magnetic field at Q.

D

cannot be predicted unless the value if I is known.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`B prop I, B prop 1/r`
So, if I and r remains constant, then magnetic
field at P = Magnetic field at Q.
