I'm fairly confident I can express the strength of a magnetic field along the axis of a current carrying loop at some distance x away using the Biot-Savart Law. I'm just trying to extend this idea for a solenoid with N turns. I'm assuming that the current would become NI in this case?

Dear colleagues,
I have questions regarding Biot-Savart law. From [1], it is shown that the equation (Biot-Savart) is derived from the solution to Poisson's equation (assuming here div A=0)
\begin{equation}
\vec{\nabla}^2 \vec{A} = -\mu \vec{J}
\end{equation}
which is

if you want to calculate the magnetic field of a cylinderical uniform current density

why?

Is the Biot Savart law similar to the coulomb law in that it is something that is guessed initially, and later shown to give the same solution that Maxwell's equations give (except Maxwell's equations are a generalisation), or is it something that is proven? And if it is proven, could someone...
