Answer

Along with Félix Savart, Jean-Baptiste Biot co-discovered the Biot–Savart law in 1820. The law states that the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point is proportional to the current flowing through the wire and the sine of the angle between the wire and the line connecting the point to the wire.
