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 () of a current carrying conductor only.
Statement II : Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge , with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, while the latter being produced by a vector source, .
In light of above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
