This page covers the method of calculating the magnetic field from a moving point charge, derived from the Biot-Savart law for magnetic fields.

The Main Idea

The magnetic field of a moving point charge can be found using a derivation of the Biot-Savart Law for magnetic fields.

A Mathematical Model

What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
