(N/A) The Biot-Savart law for the magnetic field $dB$ due to a current element $Idl$ is given by $dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I dl \sin \theta}{r^2}$.
The Coulomb's law for the electric field $dE$ due to a point charge $dq$ is given by $dE = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{dq}{r^2}$.
Similarities:
$1$. Both laws are long-range laws,as they both depend on the inverse square of the distance $(1/r^2)$ from the source.
$2$. Both laws follow the principle of superposition.
$3$. Both laws are linear with respect to their sources (current element $Idl$ for magnetic field and charge $dq$ for electric field).

$A$ charge $q$ coulomb moves in a circle at $n$ revolutions per second and the radius of the circle is $r$ metre; then the magnetic field at the centre of the circle is

Assertion : The magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil in the following figure due to the currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ is zero.
Reason : $I_1 = I_2$ implies that the fields due to the current $I_1$ and $I_2$ will be balanced.

$N$ equally spaced charges, each of value $q$, are placed on a circle of radius $R$. The circle rotates about its axis with an angular velocity $\omega$ as shown in the figure. $A$ bigger Amperian loop $B$ encloses the whole circle, whereas a smaller Amperian loop $A$ encloses a single charge. The difference between the enclosed currents, $I_A - I_B$, for the given Amperian loops is:
