Magnetic Flux The line integral of the vector magnetic potential A around any closed path equals the total magnetic flux passing through area enclosed by the path
The Biot-Savart Law relates magnetic fields to the currents which are their sources. In a similar manner, Coulomb’s Law relates electric fields to the point charges 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.
Biot-Savart Law By using (see eq 6.31)
