Physics 212 Lecture 15 Ampere’s Law Physics 212 Lecture 15, Slide 1
Main Point We used our knowledge of the magnetic field produced by a long straight currentcarrying wire to develop an understanding of Ampere’s law, that the integral of B dot dl around any closed path is equal to m 0 times the current enclosed by that path. Ampere’s law can be used to determine the magnetic field produced by sufficiently symmetric current distributions. In particular, we used Ampere’s law to calculate the magnetic field produced by the cylindrically-symmetric infinite straight current -carrying wire and the planar-symmetric infinite sheet of current.
