Given below are two statements:
Statement-1: Ampere's circuital law can be used to find the magnetic field for any arbitrary current distribution, provided the current is steady.
Statement-2: Biot-Savart law is more fundamental than Ampere's circuital law as it can be applied to calculate the magnetic field for any current distribution.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Statement-1 is false. Ampere's circuital law is only useful for calculating the magnetic field for current distributions with high symmetry (e.g., infinite straight wire, solenoid, toroid).
Statement-2 is true. Biot-Savart law is a more general law that can be applied to calculate the magnetic field for any current distribution, regardless of its symmetry. Therefore, it is considered more fundamental.
