Question

Which of the following statement is INCORRECT regarding the comparison between biot-savart law for the magnetic field and coulomb's law for the electrostatic field?

A Both are long range, since both depend inversely on the square of distance from the source to the point of interest.

B The electrostatic field is produced by a scalar source, namely, the electric charge. The magnetic field is produced by a vector source.

C There is no angle dependence in biot-savart law which is present in the electrostatic case. The magnetic field at any point is zero

D The electrostatic field is along displacement vector joining the source and the field point. The magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane containing the displacement vector and current element.
