Magnetic field at distance r from a long straight current-carrying wire:
Aμ₀ I / (2πr)
Bμ₀ I / (4πr)
Cμ₀ I r / 2π
Dμ₀ I² / (2πr)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. μ₀ I / (2πr)
By Ampere's law: B = μ₀ I / (2πr). Inversely proportional to distance r. Magnetic field circles around the wire (right-hand rule).
