The Biot-Savart Law to derive the equation of the magnetic field of a long, straight wire?
The below figure shows an infinite long conductor carring a current ' I '
Take small element ' dl ' on the wire. We will find the magnetic field due to this element at a point ' P ' which is ' r ' distance and ' θ ' angle from ' dl '
From Biot-Savart's Law, ---- Eqn (1)
From the geometry, according to Pythagoras theorum,
And
Substiuting in Eqn (1) :
Applying the limits :
