Given below are two statements: [2022]
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.
(3)
Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect because the magnetic field is produced by vector source and the Coulomb’s force is produced by scalar source .
