Question

Given below are two statements
Statement I: Biot-Savart's law gives on 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:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct
