Question

The Biot Savart's Law in vector form is

A
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯δB=μ04πdl(l×r)r3
B
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯δB=μ04πI(dl×r)r3
C
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯δB=μ04πI(r×dl)r3
D
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯δB=μ04πI(dl×r)r2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The Biot Savart's Law we know is given by:
δB=μ04πIdlsin(θ)r2^r, where θ is the angle between the line element dl and the radial unit vector ^r.
Now we know: ^r=rr, using this and the cross product of two vectors we get; δB=μ04πI(dl×r)r3
