Question

The magnetic field produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is

Answer 1

Answer:

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by:

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current intensity in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

From the formula, we notice that:

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to I, the current

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, r

Therefore, correct option is

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
