BIOT-SAVART LAW
- a fundamental quantitative relationship
between an electric current and
the magnetic field it produces, based on
the experiments in 1820 of the French
scientists Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix
Savart.
- equation that describes the magnetic
field created by a current-carrying wire,
and allows you to calculate its strength
at various points.

SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1. Let's say you have a wire carrying
a current of 0.1 amps, and you're
asked to calculate the magnetic field
at a distance of 0.5 meters from that
wire.
2. Find the magnetic field produced
by a copper wire carrying a steady
current 120A at a distance of 1.5 m
away.

PRODUCED BY LOOP WIRE
Curl the fingers of your right hand in the
direction of the current around the loop - your
thumb then indicates the direction of the
magnetic field.
SOLENOID
SOLENOID FIELD FROM AMPERE'S LAW
A solenoid is a coil of wire designed to
create a strong magnetic field inside the coil.
By wrapping the same wire many times
around a cylinder, the magnetic field due to
the wires can become quite strong. More
loops will bring about a stronger magnetic
field.
n = N/L is the number of turns per unit length,
sometimes called the "turns density". The
expression is an idealization to an infinite length
solenoid, but provides a good approximation to the
field of a long solenoid.
