SUMMARY
The Biot-Savart Law provides a mathematical framework for calculating the magnetic field strength (B) and magnetic field intensity (H). The relationship between these two quantities is defined by the equation H = B/μ₀ - M, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space and M represents magnetization. In magnetic materials, the behavior of B and H varies significantly compared to their behavior in a vacuum, where they differ only by a constant factor of approximately 1.25663706 × 10-6 m kg s-2 A-2.
