Ramon Moran · Answer 1

Answer: a. the magnetic field surrounding a long, straight wire

Explanation:

The Biot-Savart law was formulated by Jean Baptiste Biot and Felix Savart and describes how a magnetic field is generated by a stationary electric current.

In other words:

The law formulated by Biot and Savart relates the magnetic fields with the currents that create them.

Therefore, the correct option is a.

The magnetic field surrounding a long, straight wire.
