Concept explainers
Whether the magnetic field strength decreases more rapidly with distance closer to the wire or farther from the wire.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the graph of magnetic field strength vs distance from wire provided in the question.
In the given graph, the smallest division along x-axis is
The graph shows that magnetic field strength decreases with increase in distance from the wire.
From the nature of the graph, it can be predicted that magnetic field strength decreases more rapidly with distance closer to the wire. At
Conclusion: The magnetic field strength decreases more rapidly with distance closer to the wire
