A vertical straight conductor carries a current vertically upwards. A point $P$ lies to the east of it at a small distance and another point $Q$ lies to the west at the same distance. The magnetic field at $P$ is

  • A

    Greater than at $Q$

  • B

    Same as at $Q$

  • C

    Less than at $Q$

  • D

    Greater or less than at $Q$ depending upon the strength of the current
