What would happen to the magnetic field if a current-carrying conductor is shaped into a loop?
The field remains uniform
The field strengthens at the center of the loop
The field disappears
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.
