Simple phenomena of magnetism — practice question

The diagram illustrates a solenoid through which an electric current flows. Which row compares the strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid at points $Y$ and $Z$ with the strength of the magnetic field at point $X$?

  • Amagnetic field strength at $Y$: equal to $X$; magnetic field strength at $Z$: less than $X$
  • Bmagnetic field strength at $Y$: equal to $X$; magnetic field strength at $Z$: greater than $X$
  • Cmagnetic field strength at $Y$: greater than $X$; magnetic field strength at $Z$: less than $X$
  • Dmagnetic field strength at $Y$: greater than $X$; magnetic field strength at $Z$: greater than $X$
