Week 13, Video 4 AMPERE S LAW EEE 161 Electromagnetics - Magnetostatics Dr. Markovic 8/19/2025 27
How do we find H? Ampere s law Bio-Savart s Law How do we find E? Gauss Law Coulomb s Law EEE 161 Electromagnetics - Magnetostatics Dr. Markovic 8/19/2025 28
Ampres Law EEE 161 Electromagnetics - Magnetostatics Dr. Markovic 8/19/2025 29
Guided Example: Magnetic field of an infinite line of current 1. What is the direction of magnetic field? 2.Then we have to pick an appropriate contour (we pick circle because the magnetic field is constant on this circle all points are the same distance away from the wire) 3. What is the contour piece dl? EEE 161 Electromagnetics - Magnetostatics Dr. Markovic 8/19/2025 30
What is the direction of magnetic field? Magnetic field on this circle will be constant (all points are the same distance away from the source (current) EEE 161 Electromagnetics - Magnetostatics Dr. Markovic 8/19/2025 31
Why can we take H in front of the integral? Why is H a constant? EEE 161 Electromagnetics - Magnetostatics Dr. Markovic 8/19/2025 32
