Biot Savart law Tamil Soon after the Oersted’s discovery, both Jean-Baptiste Biot and Felix Savart in 1819 did quantitative experiments on the force experienced by a magnet kept near current carrying wire and arrived at a mathematical expression that gives the magnetic field at some point in space in terms of the current that produces the magnetic field. This is true for any shape of the conductor. Biot and Savart experimentally observed that the magnitude of magnetic field directly as the strength of the current I
