- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Answer
(4) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Solution
Statement I: For time-varying currents the forces between two current elements need not be equal and opposite; momentum is conserved only when the momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is included. So Statement I is true.
Statement II: As per NCERT, Ampere's circuital law is not new in content from the Biot–Savart law; both relate the magnetic field to a steady current, and Ampere's law can be derived from the Biot–Savart law. So Statement II is false.
Answer: (4)
