General Curve Magnetic Field Calculator | Biot-Savart Law Calculation

Compute the magnetic field of a current flowing along an arbitrary space curve x(t), y(t), z(t) using the Biot–Savart–Laplace law. The curve is entered as parametric functions and their derivatives; the field is evaluated numerically for a single point or along a line of points.

This calculator evaluates the magnetic field of an arbitrary current-carrying curve using the Biot–Savart–Laplace law Enter parametric functions and derivatives; compute field at a point or along a line in CGS units.

Units: All calculations are performed in the Gaussian (CGS) system.
