Question

The magnetic field around a straight current-carrying wire is independent of:

  1. Distance from the wire
  2. Current in the wire
  3. Direction of the flow of current
  4. Mass of the wire

hintHint:

The magnetic field around a straight current-carrying wire is independent of the mass of the wire.

The correct answer is: Mass of the wire


    • The magnetic field in a current-carrying conductor depends on the distance and frequency of the current.
    • According to the Biot-Savart rule, the magnetic field at a point p is given by B =μo/4π * ​​∫Idl*r(vector)/r3, where r is the distance between the point p and the conductor and I is the current flowing through it. Therefore, the magnetic field produced by a conductor carrying current is dependent on both the conductor's proximity to and the current flowing through it. 
    • The mass of the wire does not create any impact on the magnetic field.
