What would happen to the magnetic field if a current-carrying conductor is shaped into a loop?

1

The field remains uniform

2

The field strengthens at the center of the loop

3

The field disappears

4

The field is directed radially outward

Answer and Solution

Answer

B. The field strengthens at the center of the loop

Solution:

Shaping a current-carrying conductor into a loop concentrates the magnetic field lines inside the loop, significantly increasing the field strength at the center compared to a straight wire.
