The Biot-Savart Law relates magnetic fields to the currents which are their sources. Finding the magnetic field, resulting from a current distribution involves the vector product, and is inherently a calculus problem when the distance from the current to the field point is continuously changing. You will be studying Biot-Savart law and calculations about magnetic fields. You may collect your data and then check or share them.
