Magnetic Field from a Wire
•Magnitude is found from the formula
•Direction is found from the right hand rule
•Place thumb in direction of current flow
•Fingers curl in direction of B-field

Sample Problem
A regular hexagon whose center is a distance a = 1 cm from the nearest
side has current I = 4.00 A flowing around it. The current flows N = 500
times around. What is the total magnetic field at the center?
•Draw in the two directions from the center to the corners of
one segment
•Top angle is one-sixth of a circle, or 60 degrees
•Total angles in circle is 180, so other two angles are 60 each
•Use formula to get magnetic field – right hand rule says up.

flows, thumb points in direction of B-field inside the loop

Ampere’s Law (original recipe)
•Suppose we have a wire coming out of the plane
•Let’s integrate the magnetic field around a closed path B  0 I

•There’s a funky new symbol for such an integral
•Circle means “over a closed loop”
•The magnetic field is parallel to direction of integration

Understanding Ampere’s Law
•If multiple currents flow through, add up all that are inside the loop
•Use right-hand rule to determine if they count as + or –
 B  ds  0 I
•Curl fingers in direction of Ampere loop
•If thumb points in direction of current, plus, otherwise minus
•The wire can be bent, the loop can be any shape, even non-planar

We will later realize that
this formula is imperfect
Using Ampere’s Law
•Ampere’s Law can be used – rarely – to calculate magnetic fields
•Need lots of symmetry – usually cylindrical
A wire of radius a has total current I distributed uniformly across its cross-sectional area.
Find the magnetic field everywhere.

•Draw an Ampere loop outside the wire – it contains all the current
•Magnetic field is parallel to the direction of this loop, and constant around it
•Use Ampere’s Law

Using Ampere’s Law (2)
•Now do it inside the wire
•Ampere loop inside the wire does not contain all the current
•The fraction is proportional to the area

Solenoids
•Consider a planar loop of wire – any shape – with a
current I going around it
•Now, stack many, many such loops
•Treat spacing as very closely spaced
•Assume stack is tall compared to size of loop
•Can show using symmetry that magnetic field is
only in vertical direction
•Can use Ampere’s Law to show that it is constant
inside or outside the solenoid

•But magnetic field at infinity must be zero
Boutside  0
Field Inside a Solenoid
•It remains only to calculate the magnetic field inside
•We use Ampere’s law
•Recall, no significant B-field outside
•Only the inside segment contributes
0 I tot   B  ds  Bin L
I tot  NI
•There may be many (N) current loops within this
Ampere loop
•Let n = N/L be loops per unit length

•Works for any shape solenoid, not just cylindrical
•For finite length solenoids, there are “end effects”
•Real solenoids have each loop connected to the next,
like a helix, so it’s just one long wire

for magnetism as it was for electricity
A cylindrical solenoid of radius 10 cm has length 50 cm and
has 1000 turns of wire going around it. What is the
magnetic field inside it, and the magnetic flux through it,
when a current of 2.00 A is passing through the wire?

Gauss’s Law for Magnetism
•Magnetic field lines always go in circles – there are no magnetic monopole sources
•For closed surfaces, any flux in must go out somewhere else

Earth’s Magnetic Field
•Deep inside the Earth there are currents flowing
•These generate magnetic field lines
•Exiting near the south geographic pole
•Entering near the north geographic pole
•Current loops near the surface of the Earth try to line up with B-field
•Compass needles are really just loops of current (sort of)
•Compass needles point
approximately north on
most of the Earth
