\\|bēˌōsə|vär-, |byōsə-\ noun
Usage: usually capitalized B&S
Etymology: after Jean B. Biot died 1862 French mathematician and Félix Savart died 1841 French physician & physicist
: a statement in electromagnetism: the magnetic intensity at any point due to a steady current in an infinitely long straight wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from point to wire — compare ampere's law

/bee"oh seuh vahr", byoh"-/, Physics.
the law that the magnetic induction near a long, straight conductor, as wire, varies inversely as the distance from the conductor and directly as the intensity of the current in the conductor.
[named after J. B. Biot (see BIOTITE) and Felix Savart (1791-1841), French physician and physicist]
