Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity \(v\)) produce a magnetic field \(B\) such that:

1. \(B\perp v\).
2. \(B\parallel v\).
3. it obeys inverse cube law.
4. it is along the line joining the electron and point of observation.

An element of length \(0.05{\hat i}~\text m\) is placed at the origin as shown in the figure and carries a current of \(10~\text{A}.\) The magnetic field at a point \(1~\text{m}\) away in a direction perpendicular to the element is:

1. \(4.5\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\) 2. \(5.5\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\)
3. \(5.0\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\) 4. \(7.5\times 10^{-8}~\text{T}\)

The strength of the magnetic field around a straight current-carrying conductor as observed by Biot and Savart was that:
1. field is the same every where around the conductor.
2. field is directly proportional to the square of the current flowing in the conductor.
3. field obeys the inverse square law of distance.
4. magnetic field strength was maximum on the axis of the current conductor.
