Magnetic Field of a hollow wire with a constant current is homogenous. Curves in the graph shown, give, as functions of distance r, the magnitude B of the magnetic field inside and outside four long wires a, b, c and d carrying currents that are uniformly distributed across the cross sections of the wires. Overlapping portions of the plots are indicated by double labels.

Which wire has the greatest radius?

Options:

a

b

c

d

Correct Answer:

c

Explanation:

slope is inversely proportional to square of the radius.
