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.
