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 $(Id\vec{l})$ 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 vector source,$Id\vec{l}$,while the latter is produced by a scalar source,$q$. In light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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

Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces a magnetic field $B_1$ at its centre when a current $I$ passes through it. The second wire is bent into a coil with three identical loops adjacent to each other and produces a magnetic field $B_2$ at the centre of the loops when a current $I/3$ passes through it. The ratio $B_1 : B_2$ is

$A$ long wire lies along the $X$-axis and carries a current of $40 \, A$ in the positive $x$-direction. $A$ second long wire is perpendicular to the $xy$-plane, passes through the point $(3.0 \, m) \hat{j}$, and carries a current along the positive $z$-direction. If the magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at the point $(2.0 \, m) \hat{j}$ is $R=5 \times 10^{-6} \, T$, then the current in the second wire is (Permeability of free space, $\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \, T \cdot m/A$) (in $A$)
