Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

Short Answer Type

Meena draws magnetic field lines of field close to the axis of a current carrying circular loop. As she moves away from the centre of the circular loop she observes that the lines keep on diverging. How will you explain her observation.

Strength of the magnetic field falls as distance increases. This is indicated by the decrease in degree of closeness of the lines of field.
