Magnetic field due to a straight current-carrying conductor is directly proportional to the current in the wire

In Biot- Savart Law

Magnetic field 'B' at a radial distance 'r', due to a wire-carrying current is given by:

B=μoI2πr

Where 'μo' is the permeability of free space 4π×10-7Tm/A, and 'I' is the current.

Magnetic field intensity, B=μoI2πr

BI

Thus, the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current in the wire.
