Which of the following statements is true about the magnetic field due to a long straight conductor? (2020)
  1. It is uniform and constant
  2. It decreases with distance from the conductor
  3. It increases with distance from the conductor
  4. It is only present at the ends of the conductor

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about the magnetic field due to a long straight conductor? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what a long straight conductor is. It is a wire that is very long and straight, like a power line.
  • Step 2: Learn about magnetic fields. A magnetic field is an area around a magnet or a current-carrying wire where magnetic forces can be felt.
  • Step 3: Know that when electricity flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 4: Realize that the strength of this magnetic field is strongest right next to the wire.
  • Step 5: Understand that as you move further away from the wire, the strength of the magnetic field gets weaker.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the statement 'the magnetic field due to a long straight conductor decreases with increasing distance from the conductor' is true.
