Magnetic Field and Force — Quiz

Question 3 • Physics

The strength of a magnetic field around a wire carrying a current of 20 cap A is 0 point 0 0 4 cap t What is the strength of the magnetic field if the current is changed to 40 cap A ?

Answer
A
0 point 0 0 4 cap t
B
0 point 0 0 2 cap t
C
0 point 0 0 8 cap t
D
0 point 0 0 6 cap t

Explanation

For the same wire and measurement distance, magnetic field strength is directly proportional to current. The current doubles from 20 A to 40 A, so the field doubles from 0.004 T to 0.008 T. Therefore, the correct choice is 0.008 T.
