Ampere’s Circuital Law:
The line integral ∫ B . dl for a closed loop is equal to µ0 times the net current I
threading through the area bounded by the loop.
I B
∫ B . dl = µ0I dl
B r
I O
Proof:
Current is emerging
out and the magnetic
∫ B . dl = ∫ B dl cos 0° field is anticlockwise.
∫ dl
= ∫ B dl = B
= B (2πr) = ( µ0I / 2πr) x 2π r (∵B = µ0I / 2πr for an infinitely long wire)
∫ B . dl = µ0 I
Hence proved.
