Concept:

Ampere's law : 

It states that the magnetic field created by an electric current is proportional to the size of that electric current with a constant of proportionality equal to the permeability of free space.

 

 

The magnetic field due to long  straight wire is given by;

Where B = strength of magnetic field, I = current, R = radius or distance.

Explanation:

Given:

R1 = 4 cm = 0.04 m, R2 = 2 cm = 0.02 m, B1 = 10-3

So as from the Amperes law
