Biot savart part 1 2013-01-17

This article is about computing the magnetic field outside of a finite straight wire using Biot Savart. It helps to understand the use of Biot Savart like this so that magnetic fields of other wire shapes may be computed such as a loop of wire, inside and outside of the loop. I hope to do more articles on this where we do the loop inside and out.

There are two attachments which you'll have to refer to while reading this. The first one shows the set up of the wire and a point outside the...
