Question
State Biot-Savart law.A current I flows in a conductor placed perpendicular to the plane of the paper.Indicate the direction of the magnetic field due to a small element d $\overrightarrow{l}$at point P situated at a distance $ \overrightarrow{r}$ from the element as shown in the figure.

Answer

Statement of Biot - Sarvat Law:$\text{d}\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ varies as $\frac{\text{I}\big(\text{d}\overrightarrow{l}\times\overrightarrow{r}\big)}{\text{r}^{3}}$
Direction of Magnetic field at point P is along negative x-axis.
Alternate Answer
Directed in the plane of page along the negative X direction.
