Answer:

Closest to the wire

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the magnetic field is strongest close to the wire and weaker farther away. In fact, the magnetic field weakens as where is the distance from the wire. This can change a bit depending on the length and shape of the wire.

Answer:

In general, the magnetic field is strongest close to the wire and weaker farther away. In fact, the magnetic field weakens as 1/r1/r where rr is the distance from the wire. This can change a bit depending on the length and shape of the wire. Far enough away, the magnetic field decays as 1/r21/r2 .
