The discussion clarifies the distinction between magnetic field strength (H), magnetic flux density (B), and magnetic field intensity. Biot Savart Law can be associated with both B and H, but it is not exclusively designed for one. In magnetic materials, B and H exhibit different behaviors, while in a vacuum, they differ only by a constant factor. The relationship between B and H is expressed as H = B/μ₀ - M. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing magnetic fields in various media.

What is the difference between magnetic field strength, magnetic field intansity and magnetic flux density. I have heard that MG intansity is independent of medium it represents the magnetizing power of a magnetic force

>Biot Savart law gives us magnetic field strength or magnetic flux density?​


Biot Savart Law is expressed by B or H. It is difficult to say the law is specially designed for B or H.
H is partial field of B \mathbf{H}=\frac{\mathbf{B}}{\mu_0}-\mathbf{M} In magnetic material media behavior of B and H differ. In vaccum B and H differ only by constant 1.25663706 × 10-6 m kg s-2 A-2.

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
