Give the characteristics of magnetic field lines.

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 $(Id\vec{l})$ 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 vector source,$Id\vec{l}$,while the latter is produced by a scalar source,$q$. In light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

An infinitely long straight conductor is bent into the shape as shown in the figure. It carries a current $I$ and the radius of the circular loop is $r$. The magnetic induction at the center $O$ of the circular loop is:

Two concentric circular coils $X$ and $Y$ of radii $16\; cm$ and $10\; cm$ respectively,lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil $X$ has $20$ turns and carries a current of $16\; A$. Coil $Y$ has $25$ turns and carries a current of $18\; A$. The sense of the current in $X$ is anticlockwise,and clockwise in $Y$,for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.

Give similarity between Biot-Savart law and electrostatic law of Coulomb.
