A rod of length L with uniform charge density $$\lambda $$ per unit length is in the XY-plane and rotating about Z-axis passing through one of its edge with an angular velocity $$\overrightarrow \omega $$ as shown in the figure below. $$\left( {{\bf{\hat r}},\,\hat \phi ,\,{\bf{\hat z}}} \right)$$ refer to the unit vectors at Q, $$\overrightarrow {\bf{A}} $$ is the vector potential at a distance d from the origin O along Z-axis for d ≪ L and $$\overrightarrow {\bf{J}} $$ is the current density due to the motion of the rod. Which one of the following statements is correct?

A. $$\overrightarrow {\bf{J}} {\text{ along }}{\bf{\hat r}};\overrightarrow {\bf{A}} {\text{ along }}{\bf{\hat z}};\left| {\overrightarrow {\bf{A}} } \right| \propto \frac{1}{d}$$

B. $$\overrightarrow {\bf{J}} {\text{ along }}\hat \phi ;\overrightarrow {\bf{A}} {\text{ along }}\hat \phi ;\left| {\overrightarrow {\bf{A}} } \right| \propto \frac{1}{{{d^2}}}$$
