MCQ
A magnetic field is produced by the current passing through a long straight wire. When will the strength of the magnetic field increase?
  • A
    When the magnitude of the current increases
  • B
    When the distance from the wire increases
  • C
    Both A andB
  • D
    None of these
✓

Answer

  1. When the magnitude of the current increases

Explanation:

A metallic wire carrying an electric current has associated with it a magnetic field. The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at a given point increases as the current through the wire increases. The magnetic field produced by a given current in the conductor decreases as the distance from it increases.
