If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 2.50 mT at a distance of 12.6 cm from a long straight current carrying wire, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire

The magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

Explanation:

Given;

first magnetic field at first distance, B₁ = 2.50 mT

first distance, r₁ = 12.6 cm = 0.126 m

Second magnetic field at Second distance, B₂ = ?

Second distance, r₂ = ?

Magnetic field for a straight wire is given as;

Where:

μ is permeability

B is magnetic field

I is current flowing in the wire

r distance to the wire

Therefore, the magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
