Biot savart’s law

By Sarthak Sharma
 Biot and Savart conducted
experiments on the force
Biot-Savart Law exerted by an electric
- Introduction current on a nearby magnet
They arrived at a
mathematical expression
that gives the magnetic field
at some point in space due
to a current
 STATEMENT

"Magnetic field(B) along vertical

current carrying conductor/wire in
a closed surface is directly
proportional to the current(I) and
inversely proportional to the
perpendicular distance from the
point of conductor/wire
PROOF
Consider a current carrying conductor in a closed surface.
Mathematically,
B ∝I/r
B=KI/r
Where K= ∝ constant and it value depends on
nature of closed surface where conductor is
situated
µ0=permeability of free space
= 4 x 10e-7 h/m
K = 2 x 10e-7 h/m
B = µ0I/2π
Biot Savart Law Applications

This law can be used for calculating

magnetic reactions even on the level of
molecular or atomic. It can be used in the
theory of aerodynamic for determining
the velocity encouraged with vortex lines
