The Biot-Savart Law Experiment Complete Set Up is designed for advanced physics laboratories to investigate the magnetic fields produced by electric currents in straight conductors and circular coils. The experiment enables students to verify the Biot-Savart Law by measuring the relationship between magnetic field strength, current, conductor geometry, distance, and the number of turns in a solenoid. The setup provides accurate magnetic field measurements using a two-axis teslameter, making it ideal for studying electromagnetism. Manufactured by Atico Export India.
Objectives :
- Measure the magnetic field produced by a straight conductor as a function of current
- Measure the magnetic field produced by circular conductor loops as a function of current
- Study the variation of magnetic field with distance from a straight conductor
- Investigate the effect of loop radius on the magnetic field
- Measure the magnetic field at different distances from circular loops

Principle :
- The Biot-Savart Law describes the magnetic field generated by a steady electric current. It relates the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, geometry, and distance of the current-carrying conductor. In this experiment, magnetic field characteristics are investigated using a straight conductor, circular loops, and solenoids with different lengths, winding densities, and numbers of turns.
