The correct Answer is:
To derive the Biot-Savart Law in vector form, we start with the basic principles of magnetism and the influence of electric currents on the magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept**: The Biot-Savart Law describes how a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field in the surrounding space. We consider a small segment of the conductor, referred to as the current element (dl). 2. **Defining the Parameters**: - Let \( I \) be the current flowing through the conductor. - Let \( dl \) be the differential length vector of the current element. - Let \( r \) be the distance from the current element to the point where we want to calculate the magnetic field. - Let \( \theta \) be the angle between the current element \( dl \) and the radial vector \( \mathbf{r} \) pointing from the current element to the observation point. 3. **Magnitude of the Magnetic Field**: The magnitude of the magnetic field \( dB \) produced by the current element \( dl \) at a distance \( r \) is given by: \[ dB \propto \frac{I \, dl \, \sin \theta}{r^2} \] This indicates that the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current \( I \), the length of the current element \( dl \), and the sine of the angle \( \theta \), while inversely proportional to the square of the distance \( r \). 4. **Vector Formulation**: To express this in vector form, we introduce the unit vector \( \hat{r} \) which points from the current element to the point of interest. The unit vector can be expressed as: \[ \hat{r} = \frac{\mathbf{r}}{|\mathbf{r}|} \] where \( |\mathbf{r}| \) is the magnitude of the vector \( \mathbf{r} \). 5. **Using the Cross Product**: The direction of the magnetic field produced by the current element can be determined using the right-hand rule, which leads us to use the cross product: \[ d\mathbf{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I \, d\mathbf{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2} \] where \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space. 6. **Final Formulation**: Therefore, the complete expression for the Biot-Savart Law in vector form becomes: \[ d\mathbf{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I \, d\mathbf{l} \times \mathbf{r}}{|\mathbf{r}|^3} \] ### Conclusion: The Biot-Savart Law in vector form is: \[ d\mathbf{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{I \, d\mathbf{l} \times \mathbf{r}}{|\mathbf{r}|^3} \]
