ed by an angular current. Biot and Savart modified the experiment just described by observing the action of a cur-rent traversing two very longrectilinear conductors BA andAC, so connected as to makean angle at A, Fig. 17, upona short magnet placed with itscenter P on the line bisectingthe angle BA… … MAGNETIC FIELD OF A CURRENT. 209 pendicular to the magnetic meridian through A, the actionexerted on a short magnet suspended horizontally at P willagain be reduced to two equal and opposite forces whose direc-tion is in the meridian at that point. The results of experiment indicate that the action…
