Ampere’s Law:
It is stated as “ The line integral of magnetic field 𝐵
along a closed path is equal to 𝜇𝑜 times the total
current ‘i’ enclosed by the closed path” and
expressed as
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = 𝜇𝑜𝑖
This is known as Ampere’s Law.
In Ampere’ Law, we draw an Amperian Loop that is
a imaginary closed curve to find magnetic field B.
Application of Ampere’s Law:
A Long Straight Wire:
Consider a long, straight wire of
length L and small thickness. We
have to apply Ampere’s Law to find
the magnetic field at a distance d.
We choose an Amperian loop as a
circle of radius ‘d’ centered on the
wire with its plane perpendicular
to the wire. Assume that B is
constant around the path.
We know that from oersted’s experiment that 𝐵
has only a tangential component. Thus the angle
𝜃 is zero and the line integral becomes;
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = 𝐵𝑑𝑠 cos 𝜃
= 𝐵𝑑𝑠 cos 0 = 𝐵 𝑑𝑠
Where
𝑑𝑠 = 𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑙𝑒 = 2𝜋𝑑
So, the Ampere’s Law gives
𝐵𝑑𝑠 cos 𝜃 = 𝜇𝑜𝑖
𝐵 𝑑𝑠 = 𝜇𝑜𝑖
𝐵 2𝜋𝑑 = 𝜇𝑜𝑖
𝐵 =
𝜇𝑜𝑖
2𝜋𝑑
A solenoid:
Consider an ideal
solenoid and choose
an Amperian loop in
the shape of rectangle
abcda. Assume that
magnetic field is
parallel to axis of this
ideal solenoid and
constant in magnitude
along line ab. Field is
also uniform in the
interior.
Consider Ampere’s Law;
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = 𝜇𝑜𝑖
The left side of Ampere’s Law can be written as the
sum of four integrals, one for each path segment:
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 =
𝑎
𝑏
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 +
𝑏
𝑐
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 +
𝑐
𝑑
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 +
𝑑
𝑎
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠
Where
𝑎
𝑏
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 =
𝑎
𝑏
𝐵𝑑𝑠 cos 0 = 𝐵
𝑎
𝑏
𝑑𝑠 = 𝐵ℎ
𝑏
𝑐
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 =
𝑑
𝑎
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = 0
Where 𝑏
𝑐
𝐵𝑑𝑠 cos 90 = 0
𝑐
𝑑
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = 0
Because 𝐵 is zero for all external points for an
ideal solenoid.
So, for entire rectangular path,
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = 𝐵ℎ + 0 + 0 + 0 = 𝐵ℎ
The net current I that passes through the rectangular
amperian loop is not the same as current in the
solenoid because winding pass through the loop more
than once.
Let ‘n’ be the no. of turns per unit length, then ‘nh’ be
the no of turns inside the loop and the total current
through the Amperian loop is
𝑖′
= 𝑛ℎ𝑖
So, Amperian’s Law becomes
𝐵. 𝑑𝑠 = µ𝑜𝑖′
𝐵ℎ = µ𝑜𝑛ℎ𝑖
𝐵 = µ𝑜𝑛𝑖
That is the final expression.
A Toroid:
“ A toroid may be consider to be a
solenoid bent into the shape of a
doughnut”.
We can use Ampere’s Law to find the
magnetic field at interior points.
From symmetry, the lines of 𝐵 from
concentric circles inside the toroid.
Let us choose a concentric circle of
radius ‘r’ as an Amperian loop and
transverse it in the clockwise
direction.
Ampere’s Law yields
𝐵 2𝜋𝑟 = 𝜇𝑜𝑖𝑁
Where ‘i’ is the current in the toroid windings and N is the total
number of turns. This gives
𝐵 =
𝜇𝑜𝑖𝑁
2𝜋𝑟
To contrast to the solenoid, B is not constant over the cross-section
of the toroid.
From Ampere’s Law, B=0 for points outside an ideal toroid and in
the central cavity ‘2𝜋𝑟’ is the central circumference of the toroid
and
𝑁
2𝜋𝑟
Is just n , i.e; no of turns per unit length, so by substituting, we get
𝐵 = µ𝑜𝑛𝑖
The direction of M.F within a toroid follows from the right hand
rule; curl the finger in your right hand in the direction of current
and your thumb points the direction of Magnetic field.
Chapter 8
Faraday’ Law of Induction
Magnetic Flux: Φ𝐵
“ It is the change in the number of field lines passing through
a circuit loop that induces the emf in the loop”.
Specifically, it is the rate of change in the number of field lines
passing through the loop that determines the induced emf.
To make this statement quantitative, we introduce the
magnetic flux Φ𝐵 that is “the magnetic flux is the measure of
the number of field lines passing through the surface.”
Φ𝐵 = 𝐵. 𝑑𝐴
Where 𝑑𝐴 is area element of surface.
Where
Φ𝐵 = 𝐵. 𝐴
Φ𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 cos 𝜃
Where 𝜃 is the angle
between the normal to the
surface and their direction
of the field.
The SI unit of magnetic flux
is the weber where
1 weber = 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑙𝑎. 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟2
Faraday’s Law of Induction:
“ The magnitude of the induced emf in a circuit is equal
to the rate at which the magnetic flux through the circuit
is changing with time”.
Mathematically;
ξ = −
𝑑Φ𝐵
𝑑𝑡
Where ξ is induced emf. Where
1 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡 = 1 𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑒𝑟/sec
If the coil consists of N turns , then
ξ = 𝑁
𝑑Φ𝐵
𝑑𝑡
Lenz’s Law:
• We find the direction of the induced emf based on the
(induced) current that it would produced, using a rule
proposed in 1834 by Heinrich Lenz and known as Lenz’s
law:
“The flux of the magnetic field due to the induced current
opposes the change in flux that causes the induced
current”.
Lenz’s law refers to induced current which means that it
applies only to closed conducting circuits.
If the ‘change in flux’ is an increase then lenz’s law
requires that the direction of the induced current oppose
the increase and vice versa.
Gauss’s Law For Magnetism:
It stated as “ The net Flux of the magnetic field
through any closed surface is zero”.
Mathematically,
Φ𝐵 = 𝐵. 𝑑𝐴 = 0
i.e; no magnetic monopoles exists.
