Meena’s observation of diverging magnetic field lines away from the center of a current-carrying circular loop is due to the decreasing magnetic field strength as distance increases from the loop. The magnetic field lines, which indicate the direction and strength of the magnetic field, become wider as the distance from the loop’s axis grows, reflecting this weakening of the field.
Explanation:
Magnetic Field Strength:
A current-carrying circular loop creates a magnetic field that is strongest at the center and weakens as you move away from the loop.
Divergence of Field Lines:
Magnetic field lines are denser (closer together) where the magnetic field is stronger and become more spread out (diverge) as the field weakens.
Relationship:
As Meena moves away from the center of the loop, the magnetic field lines spread out because the magnetic field strength decreases with distance. This divergence of field lines indicates the weakening of the magnetic field as she moves away from the loop’s center.
