Q13 · Physics
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 :
- 1Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct
- 2Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- 3Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- 4Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrectOfficial answer
