Question:medium

A long straight wire of radius \( a \) carries a steady current \( I \). The current is uniformly distributed across its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic field at \( a/2 \) and \( 2a \) from the axis of the wire is:

Show Hint

Magnetic field inside a current-carrying wire varies linearly, while outside it follows an inverse relation with distance.
