Magnetic force $F$ acting on the electron is perpendicular to $v$ and $B$.

$F =q \cdot( v \times B )$

As $F$ is perpendicular to $v$ so, $F \cdot v =0$.

Hence, work done by force is zero.

As force is not doing any work so magnitude of velocity or kinctic energy of electron remains constant.

    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 (IdI) 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, $q$. In light of above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
