Describe the Bio-Savart law?

Physics.chapter 3rd

Your Answer

Electromagnetic force comprises of electric and magnetic fields. Charges that aren't moving produce electric fields. But when those charges do move, they instead create magnetic fields. For example, a magnet is only a magnet because of moving charges inside it. And charges moving in an electric wire also produce magnetic fields. If you move a compass near to an electric wire, you'll find that the compass needle changes direction. The Biot-Savart Law is an equation that describes the magnetic field created by a current-carrying wire, and allows you to calculate its strength at various points. The Biot–Savart law is fundamental to magnetostatics, playing a role similar to that of Coulomb's law in electrostatics. The direction of the magnetic field contribution follows the right hand thumb rule. There are many applications of Biot-Savart's law like it is used to calculate magnetic field in selenoid, toroid etc. and we know that, there selenoids and toroids are used for various applications in real-life equipments.
