Solution

The correct option is C Statement 1 is CORRECT, but statement 2 is INCORRECT
A straight current carrying wire produces circular magnetic field, with wire at the centre. So, Statement1 is correct.
According to Fleming's left hand rule, if the thumb, fore-finger and middle finger of left hand are stretched perpendicular to each other, and if the fore finger represents the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger represents the direction of current, then the thumb represents the direction of force. So, Statement2 is incorrect
