Question

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.

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
