How can you show that the magnetic field produced by a given electric current in a wire decreases as the distance from the wire increases?

  • A
    By observing the deflection of a magnetic compass needle.
  • B
    By measuring the temperature of the wire.
  • C
    By checking the resistance of the wire.
  • D
    By calculating the voltage across the wire.
