A magnetic field can be represented by lines called the lines of magnetic induction. It also expresses the strength of the mangetic field and it is a vector quantity. In a magentic field, the magnitude of magentic induction is equal to the magnetic flux per unit area at that point.

The unit of magnetic flux is called the weber (symbol Wb). As magnetic induction is equal to the magentic flux per unit area, the SI unit of magnetic induction is weber/metre^2, i.e, Wb/m^2. This unit is also called the tesla (symbol T0


Bio Savart Law

Consider a small element of length dl, of a conductor carrying a current I. Let P be any point at a distance r from the centre of the element along a line making an angle θ with the element. Then, according to this law, the magnetic induction dB at the point P due to the current element dl is given by

dB α I(dl)sinθ/r²

dB = K*I(dl)sinθ/r²

where K is a constant of proportionality whose value depends upon the system of units.

In the SI sytem, K for vacuum or air is written as Mu/4Pi and its value comes out to be 10^(-7) Wb/Am.

Magnetic induction is vector quantity and its direction can be determined by using the right hand rule.
