alleryStart learning →At a point on the line along a current element, the field of that element is:
Aits maximum value
Bhalf its maximum
Cexactly zero
Dinfinitely large
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. exactly zero
dB is proportional to sin(theta); on the line of the element theta is 0 or 180 degrees, so dB is zero.
