An electric current passes through a long straight wire. At a distance $5 \ cm$ from the wire,the magnetic field is $B$. The magnetic field at $20 \ cm$ from the wire would be:

  • A
    $\frac{B}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{B}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{B}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{B}{2}$

$A$ long curved conductor carries a current $I$. $A$ small current element of length $dl$ on the wire induces a magnetic field at a point away from the current element. If the position vector between the current element and the point is $\vec{r}$,making an angle $\theta$ with the current element,then the induced magnetic field density $d\vec{B}$ at the point is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$:
