Question 15 • Physics

The magnetic field 0 point 0 2 m from a wire is 0 point 1 cap t What is the magnitude of the magnetic field 0 point 0 1 m from the same wire?

Answer
A
0 point 1 cap t
B
0 point 0 1 cap t
C
0 point 2 cap t
D
0 point 0 5 cap t

Explanation

For the same straight wire, the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. The distance decreases from 0.02 m to 0.01 m, which is half as far, so the field doubles: 0.1 T × 2 = 0.2 T. The correct choice is 0.2 T.
