Question

As we move away from the current carrying conductor, the magnetic field ______.

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. remains the same
• D. becomes zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A increases

The strength of a magnetic field is represented by the closeness of the magnetic field lines. The closer the field lines are, the more is the strength of the field. Away from a current-carrying loop, the intensity of the magnetic field decreases. Therefore, the spacing between consecutive field lines increases.
