Question
How is the magnetic field due to a straight current carrying wire affected if current in wire is decreased?
Advertisements
Solution 1
On decreasing the current the magnetic field lines become rarer.
Solution 2
Iron filings are still arranged in a specific pattern, but they are compressed to a smaller space.
