Statement I: | Biot-Savart's law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element \(I(dl)\) 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, \(q.\) |
1. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
4. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
An element \(\Delta l=\Delta x \hat{i}\) is placed at the origin and carries a large current of \(I=10\) A (as shown in the figure). What is the magnetic field on the \(y\text-\)axis at a distance of \(0.5\) m? \((\Delta x=1~\text{cm})\)
1. | \(6\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\) | 2. | \(4\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\) |
3. | \(5\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\) | 4. | \(5.4\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\) |
