Detailed Solution

The Biot Savart law is used for computing the resultant magnetic field B at position r generated by a steady current I.  

 B=μ0I4πdIsinθr2

sin(π/2) =1 which is the maximum value.  
So magnetic field at a distance of r and lying on the plane perpendicular (π/2)to the element of a conductor is maximum.
