But the equation he came up with, the one that we now call Ampere's Law, allowed him – and future physicists! – to figure out what B was in a lot of situations, including the case of the two parallel wires.
In classical electromagnetism, Ampère's circuital law, discovered by André-Marie Ampère in 1823, relates the integrated magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop. James Clerk Maxwell derived it again using hydrodynamics in his 1861 paper On Physical Lines of Force and it is now one of the Maxwell equations, which form the basis of classical electromagnetism.
