Ampère’s Law (an integral theorem) For any closed path: The current flows through the surface bordered by the path. Positive current is out of the page through the shaded surface (right hand rule) direction of integration determines positive current direction
Calculating B from Ampere’s Law For a few simple shapes, we can calculate the field B easily from Ampere’s Law. The steps: • use symmetry to choose an appropriate path • determine the direction of B from RHR. • calculate (in terms of |B|) • calculate Iencircled • apply Ampere’s Law to get B Ampere’s Law holds only for steady currents
