According to the Biot- Savart law, the magnetic field due to a current element is
(A) inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the current element to the point of interest.
(B) produced by a vector source.
(C) perpendicular to the plane containing the displacement vector and the current element.
(D) non-zero at any point in the direction of the current element.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (B) and (C) only
  3. C (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  4. D (B), (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the Biot-Savart law, the magnetic field \(d B\) is given by \(d B=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{I(d \times \hat{f})}{r^2}\). This confirms that the field follows an inverse square law (A), is produced by a vector source Idl (B), and is perpendicular to the plane of…
