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 of a current carrying conductor only.
Statement II : Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge , with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, while the latter being produced by a vector source, .
In light of above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- BStatement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
- CStatement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
Correct answer
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Biot–Savart's law is an equation describing the magnetic field generated by a constant electric current(through conductor OR due to charges moving in space like a beam). It relates the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, length, and proximity of the electric current.
Statement II is false as charge is not a vector.
