The strength of the magnetic field around a conductor in air is:
D
Answer
Transmitters, receivers, and measurements
Type
A
directly proportional to the diameter of the conductor
B
inversely proportional to the voltage on the conductor
C
inversely proportional to the diameter of the conductor
D
directly proportional to the current in the conductor
Answer Notes
The magnetic field produced by a wire is a direct result of electrons moving through it. According to the principles of electromagnetism, the strength of this magnetic field is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the conductor.
It is important to remember that voltage alone does not create a magnetic field; there must be an actual flow of current. Additionally, while the diameter of the wire affects its physical resistance, it does not dictate the overall strength of the magnetic field outside the wire.
