A straight wire of diameter 0.4 ~mm carrying a current of 2 ~A is replaced by another wire of 0.8 ~mm diameter carrying the same current. The magnetic field at distance (R) from both the wires is ' B ₁ ' and ' B ₂ ' respectively. The relation between B ₁ and B ₂ is
Options
- AB ₁= B ₂ 2
- BB ₁= B ₂
- CB ₁=2 ~B ₂
- DB ₁= B ₂ 3
Correct answer
B. B ₁= B ₂
Step-by-step solution
Since the same current flows through the second wire, the magnetic field at the same distance will be same. B ₁= B ₂
