Laplace's law or The law of Laplace may refer to several concepts,
- Biot-Savart lawBiot-Savart lawThe Biot–Savart law is an equation in electromagnetism that describes the magnetic field B generated by an electric current. The vector field B depends on the magnitude, direction, length, and proximity of the electric current, and also on a fundamental constant called the magnetic constant...
, in electromagnetics, it describes the magnetic field set up by a steady current density. - Young-Laplace equation, describing pressure difference over an interface in fluid mechanics.
