CAIE IGCSE Physics 4.5.3.4 Qualitative Variation of the Strength Questions question 1
Fig. 10.1 shows a wire that carries a current into the page. The circles on Fig. 10.1 show the pattern of the magnetic field around the wire.
Fig. 10.1
State why the spacing of the circles increases as the distance from the wire increases.
