Explanation:

a long straight wire __. a. increases with distance in a linear relationship b. increases with distance in a non-linear relationship c. decreases with distance in an inverse (1/r) relationship d. decreases with distance in an inverse-square (1/r2) relationship

In part A of the lab, we see the magnetic field of a long straight wire decreases with distance in an inverse (1/r) relationship, therefore the correct option is C.

What is a magnetic field?

A magnetic field could be understood as an area around a magnet, magnetic material, or an electric charge in which magnetic force is exerted. The SI unit of the magnetic field is tesla.

For a  long straight wire carrying the current, the relation with the distance as given below

B = μI/(2πr)

where B is the magnetic field

μ is the permeability of the free space

r is the distance from the wire

As we can see from the above relation

the magnetic field of a long straight wire decreases with distance in an inverse (1/r) relationship, therefore the correct answer is option C.
