Let us consider an infinitely long straight wire carrying a steady current II. We want to find the magnetic field at a point PP, which lies at a perpendicular distance rr from the wire. To calculate this, we use the Biot-Savart law.

The Biot-Savart law states that the differential magnetic field dB⃗d\vec{B} at a point due to a small current _____ ___ _____ ___ __________ _______ ________ __________ ____ _____ ___.
