1)

The magnetic field at a distance r from a long wire carrying current i is 0.4 tesla. The magnetic field at a distance 2r is


A) 0.2tesla

B) 0.8tesla

C) 0.1tesla

D) 1.6 tesla

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to long wire,

$B = \frac{\mu_{0}i}{2\pi r}$ or $B\propto\frac{1}{r}$

When r is doubled, the magnetic field becomes half, i.e., now the magnetic field will be 0.2T.
