Case law is subordinate to statute.
In all common law countries, precedent serves as law. But, statutes can overturn precedent.
If there is a statute (law) on the books, then the judge will apply that law. If there is not a law against a certain activity, the judge will then look to previous rulings from previous courts and follow their direction.
Case law can, however, be overturned. For example, in Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court of the United States established the precedent that states could segregate the races, so long as they provided separate but equal facilities for black and white people. In the 1950s, the Supreme Court overturned this precedent with Brown v. Board.
So case law is not a very strong source of law. It is lower than statutory law, and it can be overturned.

What effect does distance have on magnetic field strength?
The magnetic field strength decreases with distance from the source, following an inverse-square law. This means that as you move farther away from the source of the magnetic field, the strength of the field diminishes rapidly. Conversely, getting closer to the source will increase the magnetic field strength.
Is a court decision a source of law?

How is distance related to a electric field strength?
The electric field strength decreases with increasing distance from the source of the field. This relationship follows an inverse square law, meaning that the field strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. In other words, as the distance from the source doubles, the electric field strength decreases by a factor of four.
Secondary sources of law are?
anything that's not a case or statute is a secondary source, eg law text books, journals etc.
