The strength of the magnetic field at a point distant r near a long straight current carrying wire is B. The field at a distance y/2 will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
we know 
As distance 
is changed to 
i.e. distance is halved hence by above relation field will be doubled, hence new field 
.
