Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true regarding the magnetic field due to a long straight conductor? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that a long straight conductor is a wire that carries electric current.
  • Step 2: Know that when electric current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the strength of this magnetic field is strongest close to the wire.
  • Step 4: Learn that as you move further away from the wire, the strength of the magnetic field decreases.
  • Step 5: Remember that this decrease in strength follows an inverse relationship, meaning the magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
