What kind of path is used in the line integral in Ampere's law?
Question 3
*+
What does \(I_{\mathrm{enc}}\) mean in Ampere's law?
Question 4
**
A closed loop encloses \(4.0\,\mathrm A\) of current in the positive sense. Find \(\oint\vec B\cdot d\vec l\).
Question 5
**
A circular Amperian loop has radius \(0.20\,\mathrm m\) and encloses a long straight wire carrying \(5.0\,\mathrm A\). Use Ampere's law to find \(B\) on the loop.
Question 6
**+
An Amperian loop encloses currents \(6.0\,\mathrm A\) and \(2.0\,\mathrm A\) in the positive sense, and \(3.0\,\mathrm A\) in the negative sense. Find \(I_{\mathrm{enc}}\).
Question 7
***
Why can \(\oint\vec B\cdot d\vec l\) become \(B(2\pi r)\) for a long straight wire?
Question 8
***
Ampere's law is always true for steady currents. Why might it still be unhelpful for finding \(B\) around a short bent wire?
Question 9
****
Check the units of Ampere's law by showing that \(\mu_0I\) has units of \(\mathrm{T\,m}\).
Question 10
****+
A loop direction is chosen counterclockwise as viewed by you. A current passes through the loop toward you. Is its contribution to \(I_{\mathrm{enc}}\) positive or negative?
