Application +4 | -1

Consider a long straight conducting wire. The magnetic field is determined as

B

at a distance of

5 \mathrm{~cm}

from the wire. The field at

40 \mathrm{~cm}

from the wire would be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{8}}

Option C is correct because the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, so increasing the distance by a factor of 8 decreases the field by a factor of 8.

Which of the following statements is not true A current loop in a magnetic field Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
