What is in the box?
no charges?
vertical charged plate?
Patterns of Fields in Space
Box versus open surface
Seem to be able to tell
if there are charges inside
…no clue…
Gauss’s law:
If we know the field distribution on closed surface
we can tell what is inside.

There is negative charge along the interface!
Magnet Cut in Half & Pulled Apart
No magnetic monopole!
Try to cut a magnet down to a single pole, just get smaller magnets
No magnetic Charge!
Gauss’s Law for Magnetism
Dipoles:
Electric field: ‘+’ and ‘–’ charges can be separated
Magnetic field: no monopoles
Suppose magnetic dipole consists of two magnetic monopoles,
each producing a magnetic field similar to the electric field.
One cannot separate them  total magnetic ‘charge’ is zero.

Gauss’s law for magnetism
Patterns of Magnetic Field in Space
Is there current passing
through these regions?
There must be a relationship between the
measurements of the magnetic field along a closed
path and current flowing through the enclosed area.

Ampère’s Law

All the currents in the universe contribute to B
but only ones inside the path result in nonzero path integral
Ampere’s law is almost equivalent to the Biot-Savart law:
but Ampere’s law is relativistically correct

Is it always parallel to the path?
