Similar to our initial statement

of Coulomb's Law, the above

expression of the Biot-Savart Law
|

gives <b>dB</b> due to a current
|

element in a vacuum. For
|

real world applications wheres the
|
||||
current is not in a vacuum a
|
||||
slight adjustment must be made to
|
||||
take into account the magnetic
|
||||
properties of the medium.
|
||||
This can be done in a similar
|
||||
manner to the adjustment of
|
||||
Coulomb's Law in a <a
