  2. The magnetic field generated by a steady current
  3. The electric field due to a point charge
  4. The potential energy of a system of charges

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the Biot-Savart Law describe?
Correct Answer: The magnetic field generated by a steady current.
  • Step 1: Understand that the Biot-Savart Law is related to magnetism.
  • Step 2: Know that it specifically deals with the magnetic field.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this magnetic field is created by electric current.
  • Step 4: Identify that the current flows through a conductor, like a wire.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the Biot-Savart Law helps us calculate the strength and direction of the magnetic field from that current.
