B = μ0i 2πr
and so it is independent of thickness.
The current is same in both the wires, hence magnetic field induced will be same.Correct Option: B
B = μ0i 2πr
and so it is independent of thickness.
The current is same in both the wires, hence magnetic field induced will be same.

Current (I) = 12 A and magnetic field (B) = 3 × 10–5 Wb/m². Consider magnetic field →B at distance r.
Magnetic field , B = μ0I 2πr ⇒ r = μ0I = (4π × 10-7) × 12 = 8 × 10-2m 2πB 2 × π × (3 × 10-5) Correct Option: A

B = μ0I ⇒ B ∝ 1 2πr r
As the distance is increased to three times, the magnetic induction reduces to one third. Hence,B = 1 × 10-3 tesla = 3.33 × 10-4 tesla 3 Correct Option: A
