MCQ
A vertical straight conductor carries a current vertically upwards. A point $P$ lies to the east of it at a small distance and another point $Q$ lies to the west at the same distance. The magnetic field at $P$ is
  • A
    Greater than at $Q$
  • Same as at $Q$
  • C
    Less than at $Q$
  • D
    Greater or less than at $Q$ depending upon the strength of the current

Answer

Correct option: B.
Same as at $Q$
b
(b) If distance is same field will be same
