    Ampere's Law states that the magnetic field around an electric current is proportional to the current. Specifically, it states that the sum of the magnetic field multiplied by the length along a closed loop equals the permeability times the current enclosed in the loop. Ampere's Law is analogous to Gauss's Law for electric fields and provides a tool for calculating magnetic fields, just as Gauss's Law does for electric fields.

    Ampere's Law

    Ampere's Law
    The magnetic field in space around an electric current is proportional to the electric current which serves as its source, just as the electric field in space is proportional to the charge which serves as its source. Ampere's Law states that for any closed loop path, the sum of the length elements times the magnetic field in the direction of the length element is equal to the permeability times the electric current enclosed in the loop.

    In the electric case, the relation of field to source is quantified in Gauss's Law which is a very powerful tool for calculating electric fields. Applications More general form:Maxwell's equation
