Which is the incorrect analogyout of the following regarding Biot-Savart law?(a) Induced velocity: Magnetic induction(b) Vortex Filament: Current-carrying Wire(c) Vorticity: Velocity(d) Aerodynamics: ElectromagnetismThis question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.My question comes from The Vortex Filament, the Biot-Savart Law, Helmholtz Theorem topic in section Flow over Airfoils over Finite Wing of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right answer is (C) Vorticity: Velocity

Easy explanation: The Biot-Savart law holds an analogy in aerodynamics and electromagnetism. The induced air CURRENT (induced fluid velocity) for a vortex filament can be thought ANALOGOUS to the induced magnetic field (magnetic induction) for a current-carrying wire. The CIRCULATION can be thought of as magnetic flux and vorticity is like the current.
