    A long straight wire of radius a carries a steady
    current I. The current is uniformly distributed over
    its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic fields
    B and B', at radial distances a/2 and 2a respectively,
    from the axis of the wire is :
    (1)``\frac {1}{4}``
    (2)``\frac {1}{2}``
    (3) 1
    (4) 4
