Q. A long cylindrical wire of radius $R$ carries a uniform current $I$ flowing through it. The variation of magnetic field with distance ‘$r$’ from the axis of the wire is shown by

KCETKCET 2020

Solution:

The magnetic field increases as the point moves closer to the boundary of the wire and decreases as it moves away from the boundary of the wire.
