    Determine the magnetic field inside and outside the cable using Ampere's law

    My attempt: I realized after i had tried to solve the problem that the current must be constant in the cables. But no information about where the cables has radius a and b is given so how would I go about to find an expression for the current? Thanks in advance!

    Magnetic field of plane with thickness d with uniform surface current

    I'm confused what's meant by a uniform surface current density since this plane has a thickness, It would need a current density distributed through its cross sections, I thought.Edit: I tried solving with proper LaTeX and all my steps, but it looked awful. For outside, I got B=µ_0jd/2. for...

    The Relation between the integral and differential form of Amperes Law

    The integral form of Ampere's law in vacuum is ∫B\cdotdl=μ_{0}I (a) Using the relation between I and J, obtain the differential form of Ampere's law. You may ignore any displacement current. (b)Define the displacement current density J_{d} in terms of the displacement field D and show...

    Amperes Law conceptual confusion.

    For amperes law it is stated that: ∫Bdl=μIenc My confusion is that B is that for example here now on Earth if I have a compass. It interacts with a the magnetic field of the Earth and points north. There is no I-enclosed yet there is still a magnetic field? Also another Amperes Law...

    Why is the first term thrown away in the derivation of Ampere's Law?

    Hi, I have some trouble understanding my book's derivation of Ampere's law. I have attached the derivation, and would like to ask the following. In equation 5.47 they throw away the first term because, ∇xJ=0. I don't understand why that is. Their argument is that J does not depend on the...

    Why Can't Ampere's Law Be Used for a Circular Arc Magnetic Field Calculation?

    Homework Statement When I use Biot-Savart law to calculate the magnetic field at a distance from an arc, I get the well known B=\frac{i\mu_{0}\phi}{4 \pi R} Why can't I use Amperes law for this? I could imagine that the arc instead to be a complete loop of current. Then I could find...

    Why Does Ampere's Law Use BL Instead of B(2L) for a Solenoid?

    Lets take the infinite solenoid for example. Where we wrap wire around a pipe with current I. We make our amperian path a rectangle, half inside the solenoid half out. This site has the diagram I am talking about, a 1/4 way down the page...

    Applying amperes law and faradays law to a solenoid and energy density

    This isn't really a homework problem, I just need to know how to do a problem similar to this one for the final and I don't want to fail, so I posted it here. A solenoid with n turns per unit length, length l and radius a (l>>a) has a current I(t)==Io sin(wt) [w is omega], where I and w are...

    Amperes law and electrodynamics and Gauss's law

    It's evident that ampere's law is used to calculate the magnetic field produced by flowing charges. Can I use Gauss's Law to calculate the electric field produced by the flowing charges also? I ask this question because in the middle of a solid conductor, there is a flow of charge. However...
