Magnetic Field Produced By Current, Part 2

  • Ampere’s Law: Consider a wire carrying a current. The current produces a magnetic field. Now consider a closed path. Ampere’s law states that the integral of B.dl around the closed path is equal to mu_0*I, where I is the current enclosed within the closed path.
  • Ampere’s law is useful in calculating the magnetic field produced by highly symmetric current distributions.
  • In the lecture, examples are given that show how to apply Ampere’s law to calculate the magnetic field produced by a current carrying long, straight, cylindrical wire, a toroid, and a solenoid.
