The field law. In the Biot-Savart law, is the contribution to the magnetic flux density at the observation point from a directed wire element carrying steady conventional electric current . The vector points from that element to the observation point, , and . The constant is the vacuum permeability; the cross product sets the direction by the right-hand rule. Integrating the elements gives the total field, in teslas.
