Question
Right or wrong sentence.
Increasing the current passing through the wire decreases the magnetic field intensity.
Options
Right
Wrong
Advertisements
Solution
The given sentence is wrong.
Explanation:
The magnetic field intensity around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the amount of current passing through it (B ∝ I). Therefore, increasing the current will actually increase the strength of the magnetic field, not decrease it.
