Given below are two statements
Statement I : Biot-Savart's law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element (Idl) of a current carrying conductor only.
Statement II : Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge q, with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, Idl while the latter being produced by a vector source, q.
In light of above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe following equation, which is applicable for infinitesimal elements, is used to determine the direction and magnitude of magnetic field according to Biot-law, Savart's
It is analogous to Coulomb's law, where 
is a vector source and q is a scalar source.
Here statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect,
