Félix Savart (/s?'v??r/;French: [sava?]; 30 June 1791, Mézières – 16 March 1841, Paris) was a French physicist and mathematician who was primarily known for the Biot–Savart law of electromagnetism, which he discovered together with his colleague Jean-Baptiste Biot.
His main interest was in acoustics and the study of vibrating bodies.A particular interest in the violin led him to create an experimental trapezoidal model.
He gave his name to the savart, a unit of measurement for musical intervals, and to Savart's wheel—a device he used while investigating the range of human hearing.
