Figures $A$ and $B$ show two long straight wires of circular cross-section (radii $a$ and $b$ with $a < b$),each carrying a current $I$ which is uniformly distributed across the cross-section. The magnitude of the magnetic field $B$ varies with radial distance $r$ from the axis. Which of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of $B$ with $r$ for both wires?

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
