$A$ steady current $I$ flows through a wire with one end at $O$ and the other end extending up to infinity as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at a point $P$, located at a distance $d$ from $O$, is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi d \cos \alpha}(1-\sin \alpha)$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi d \cos \alpha}(1-\sin \alpha)$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi d}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi d \sin \alpha}(1-\cos \alpha)$
