A straight wire of diameter 0.5 mm carrying a current of 1 A is replaced by another wire of 1 mm diameter carrying same current. The strength of magnetic field far away is
-
- twice the earlier value
- same as the earlier value
- one-half of the earlier value
- one-quarter of the earlier value
Correct Option: B
B = | |
2πr |
and so it is independent of thickness.
The current is same in both the wires, hence magnetic field induced will be same.
