How is Ampere's Law applied in solenoids?
Click to flip
For solenoids, Ampere’s Law is used to determine the magnetic field inside by integrating B around a loop that follows the field inside and extends outside where the field is negligible.

Can Ampere's Law be used to find the magnetic field of a toroid?
Click to flip
Yes, Ampere's Law can be used for toroids. The magnetic field is constant within the circular path inside the turns and zero outside when evaluated using the law.

How does Ampere's Law apply to coaxial cables?
Click to flip
In coaxial cables, Ampere's Law helps calculate the magnetic field between the inner and outer conductors, which is zero outside the outer conductor if currents are equal and opposite.

Why doesn't Ampere’s Law apply directly to time-varying fields?
Click to flip
Ampere’s original law applies only to steady currents. For time-varying fields, Maxwell added the displacement current term to account for changing electric fields.

What is the definition of an Ampere in terms of Ampere’s Law?
Click to flip
An Ampere is defined as the constant current which, when maintained in two parallel conductors one meter apart in a vacuum, produces a force of 2 × 10⁻⁷ Newton per meter of length between them.

How does the magnetic field behave inside and outside an infinite wire using Ampere’s Law?
Click to flip
Inside an infinite wire, the magnetic field increases linearly with radius, while outside, it decreases inversely with the distance from the wire using Ampere’s Law.
