Amperes Law.
Amperes law gives another method to calculate the magnetic field due to a given current distribution.
Line integral of the magnetic field B around any closed curve is equal to through the area enclosed by the curve
r
m 0 times the net current i threading
i.e. ò Bdl = m0 åi = m0 (i1 + i3 – i2 )
Also using
B = m0 H
(where H = magnetising field)
ò m0 H.dl = m0Si Þ ò H.dl = Si
Note : @ Total current crossing the above area is
(i1 + i3 – i2 ) . Any current outside the area is not
included in net current. (Outward ¤ ® +ve, Inward Ä ® – ve)
@ When the direction of current is away from the observer then the direction of closed path is clockwise and when the direction of current is towards the observer then the direction of closed path is anticlockwise.

According to Ampere’s law,
òaB.dl + ò B.dl + ò B.dl + ò B.dl = m0i .

Since B ^ dl along the path b ® c and d ® a, therefore, B.dl = 0 ;

Also, B || dl along the path a ® b and c ® d, thus òaB.dl + ò B.dl = 2Bl
The current enclosed by the loop is i = jl
Therefore, according to Ampere’s law
2Bl = m0
( jl) or B = m0 j

(3) Solenoid
A cylinderical coil of many tightly wound turns of insulated wire with generally diameter of the coil smaller than its length is called a solenoid.
One end of the solenoid behaves like the north pole and opposite end behaves like the south pole. As the length of the solenoid increases, the interior field becomes more uniform and the external field becomes weaker.
A magnetic field is produced around and within the solenoid. The magnetic field within the solenoid is uniform and parallel to the axis of solenoid.
- Finite length solenoid : If N = total number of turns,
l = length of the solenoid
n = number of turns per unit length = N
l
Magnetic field inside the solenoid at point P is given by
B = m0 (2p ni)[sina + sin b ] 4p
- Infinite length solenoid : If the solenoid is of infinite length and the point is well inside the solenoid e.
a = b = (p / 2) .
So Bin = μ0 ni
(ii) If the solenoid is of infinite length and the point is near one end i.e. a = 0 and b = (p / 2)
So B

- Toroid : A toroid can be considered as a ring shaped closed Hence it is like an endless cylindrical solenoid.
Consider a toroid having n turns per unit length
Let i be the current flowing through the toroid (figure). The magnetic lines of force mainly remain in the core of toroid and are in the form of concentric circles. Consider such a circle of mean radius r. The circular closed path
surrounds N loops of wire, each of which carries a current i therefore from ò B.dl

Þ B ´ (2pr) = m0 Ni
Þ B = m0 Ni = m ni

where n = N
2pr
For any point inside the empty space surrounded by toroid and outside the toroid, magnetic field B is zero because the net current enclosed in these spaces is zero.
Example: 22 A long solenoid has 200 turns per cm and carries a current of 2.5 A. The magnetic field at its centre is

Solution : (b)
B = m 0ni = 4p ´ 10 –7 ´ 200 ´ 2.5 = 6.28 ´ 10 –2 Wb / m 2 .
