(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:
- A (A), (B) and (D) only
- B (A), (B) and (C) only
- C (A), (B), (C) and (D)
- D (B), (C) and (D) only
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…

DNA Fingerprinting
Polymorphism in DNA sequence is the basis of genetic mapping of the human genome as well as of DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting involves identification of differences in some specific regions in the DNA sequence called repetitive DNA. It works on the principle of polymorphisms in DNA sequences. The repetitive DNA are separated from bulk genomic DNA. The bulk DNA forms a major peak and the other small peaks are referred to as satellite DNA. These repetitive/satellite DNA sequences show a high degree of polymorphisms and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting.
