Question:

Which of the following is the constant of proportionality in Biot-Savart's Law?

Options:

Permittivity of free space

Permeability of free space

Permeability of free space/2π

Permeability of free space/4π

Correct Answer:

Permeability of free space/4π

Explanation:

According to Biot-Savart's Law, 

dB = \(\frac{μ_{o}}{4π}\) \(\frac{Idl Sinθ}{r^{2}}\)

Constant of proportionality = \(\frac{μ_{o}}{4π}\)
