Given below are two statements: 

Statement I: The magnetic field due to a segment \({d\vec l}\) of a current-carrying wire carrying a current, \(I\) is given by:
  \({d\vec B}=\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}~I\left({d\vec l}\times\dfrac{\vec r}{r^3}\right ),\)
where \(\vec{r}\) is the position vector of the field point with respect to the wire segment.
Statement II: The magnetic field of a current-carrying wire is never parallel to the wire.
 
1. Statement I and Statement II are True and Statement I is the correct explanation of Statement II.
2. Statement I and Statement II are True and Statement I is not the correct explanation of Statement II.
3. Statement I is True, and Statement II is False.
4. Statement I is False, and Statement II is True.

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Biot-Savart's law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element \((Idl)\) of a current-carrying conductor only.
Statement II: Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge \(q,\) with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, \((Idl)\) while the latter being produced by a vector source, \(q.\)
 
1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
