Chapter 29 Ampere’s Law Recall that we first used Coulomb’s Law to calculate the electric force. Then we used F = qE and found the value of E by using Gauss’ Law. As we saw in the last chapter with F = qvB, if the magnetic field is known then we can easily calculate the magnetic force. Ampere’s Law helps us to find the magnetic field. Gauss’s Law involved flux through a surface. The current passing through a circle is used in the simple form of Ampere’s Law to find the magnetic field. pages 2 – 6 PHY162 will discuss these concepts. page 7 Ampere’s Law The formula for the strength of the magnetic field due to current in a long straight wire was developed in Chapter 28. B = (oI ) / (2 π r) o = 4 π x 10-7 page 8 Ampere’s Law 1. Draw a convenient closed path. A convenient path for evaluating Ampere’s Law has two characteristics: a) the magnetic field is either zero or has a constant value on segments of the path b) the magnetic field is either parallel or perpendicular to the path. 2. Determine the net current that penetrates the area bounded by the closed path. 3. Multiply B by the length of each segment of the path where B a) is parallel to the path, b) is not zero, c) has a constant value. If B is anti-parallel to the path insert a negative sign on that term. You may recognize that these comments are consistent with the calculation of a vector dot product. 4. Equate this result to o times the net current that penetrates the area. 5. Solve for B. Figures 12, 13, 14, and 15 a,b and the accompanying reading on pages 8 -10 are worth a brief examination but we will not need this material. page 11 Field of a Straight Wire We will apply the steps given above to find B for a long straight wire that has a current I. We will work Exercises 3 and 4 in class. pages 14 and 15 Field of a Solenoid We will work this example in class. Right Hand Rule for Solenoids This is a continuation of the right hand rule we used for the long straight wire. page 17 The Toroid PHY162 will cover this section. Why is coaxial cable used to carry TV (and other) signals? pages 31-18 to 31-19 Know how to find the force for two long straight parallel wires that have current. How is the Ampere unit defined?
