Félix Savart (/səˈvɑːr/;[1] French: [savaʁ]; 30 June 1791, Mézières – 16 March 1841, Paris) was a French physicist and mathematician who is primarily known for the Biot–Savart law of electromagnetism, which he discovered together with his colleague Jean-Baptiste Biot.

His brother, Nicolas, who was a student at the École Polytechnique and an officer in the engineering corps, did work on vibration.

At the military hospital at Metz, Savart studied medicine and later went on to the University of Strasbourg, where he received his medical degree in 1816.

[3] Savart became a professor at Collège de France in 1820 and was the co-originator of the Biot–Savart law, along with Jean-Baptiste Biot.

He developed the Savart wheel which produces sound at specific graduated frequencies using rotating discs.
