Answer:

The Biot-Savart law

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Biot-Savart Law describes the magnetic field created by a current-carrying wire, and allows the calculation of its strength at various points.
  • To calculate the magnetic field resulting from a current distribution involves the vector product, and is normally a calculus problem when the distance from the current to the field point is continuously changing.
  • The relationship between the magnetic field contribution and its source current element is called the Biot-Savart law.
