An experimental physicist measures the magnetic flux density, BBB, at various radial distances, rrr, from a long, straight, current-carrying wire.

The results of this investigation are plotted in Figure 1 as a graph of magnetic flux density, BBB, against the reciprocal of distance, 1r\displaystyle \frac{1}{r}r1​.

Figure 1: A graph of magnetic flux density against the reciprocal of distance from a straight current-carrying wire.

Describe the relationship between the magnetic flux density, BBB, and the reciprocal of the distance, 1r\displaystyle \frac{1}{r}r1​.
