Question
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.
Solution
We know that the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying straight wire depends inversely on the distance from it. Similarly, at every point of a current-carrying circular loop, the concentric circles representing the magnetic field around it would become larger and larger as we move away from the wire. By the time we reach the center of the circular loop, the arcs of these big circles would appear as straight lines. Every point on the wire carrying current would give rise to the magnetic field appearing as straight lines at the center of the loop.
Due to this reason, as she moves away from the center of the circular loop she observes that the lines keep on diverging.
