  1. Physics 2102 Jonathan Dowling Physics 2102 Lecture 16 Ampere’s law André Marie Ampère (1775 – 1836)

  2. q q Flux=0! Ampere’s law: Remember Gauss’ law? Given an arbitrary closed surface, the electric flux through it is proportional to the charge enclosed by the surface.

  3. Gauss’ law for Magnetism: No isolated magnetic poles! The magnetic flux through any closed “Gaussian surface” will be ZERO. This is one of the four “Maxwell’s equations”.

  4. i4 i3 i2 i1 ds Ampere’s law: a Second Gauss’ law. The circulation of B (the integral of B scalar ds) along an imaginary closed loop is proportional to the net amount of current traversing the loop. Thumb rule for sign; ignore i4 As was the case for Gauss’ law, if you have a lot of symmetry, knowing the circulation of B allows you to know B.

  5. Sample Problem • Two square conducting loops carry currents of 5.0 and 3.0 A as shown in Fig. 30-60. What’s the value of ∫B∙dsthrough each of the paths shown?

  6. R Ampere’s Law: Example 1 • Infinitely long straight wire with current i. • Symmetry: magnetic field consists of circular loops centered around wire. • So: choose a circular loop C -- B is tangential to the loop everywhere! • Angle between B and ds = 0. (Go around loop in same direction as B field lines!)

  7. i r R Ampere’s Law: Example 2 • Infinitely long cylindrical wire of finite radius R carries a total current i with uniform current density • Compute the magnetic field at a distance rfrom cylinder axisfor: • r < a (inside the wire) • r > a (outside the wire) Current into page, circular field lines

  8. Current into page, field tangent to the closed amperian loop r Ampere’s Law: Example 2 (cont) For r>R, ienc=i, so B=m0i/2pR For r < R

  9. Solenoids

  10. All loops in the figure have radius r or 2r. Which of these arrangements produce the largest magnetic field at the point indicated? Magnetic Field of a Magnetic Dipole A circular loop or a coil currying electrical current is a magnetic dipole, with magnetic dipole moment of magnitude m=NiA. Since the coil curries a current, it produces a magnetic field, that can be calculated using Biot-Savart’s law:

  11. Sample Problem Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the loop.
