Chapter 8
The Steady State Magnetic Field
The Concept of Field (Physical Basis ?)
Why do Forces Must Exist?
Magnetic Field – Requires Current Distribution
Effect on other Currents – next chapter
Free-space Conditions
Magnetic Field - Relation to its source – more complicated
Accept Laws on “faith alone” – later proof (difficult)
Do we need faith also after the proof?
2. 2
Magnetic Field Sources
Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents, which can be macroscopic currents
in wires, or microscopic currents associated with electrons in atomic orbits.

Verified experimentally
At any point P the magnitude of the magnetic
field intensity produced by a differential
element is proportional to the product of the
current, the magnitude of the differential
length, and the sine of the angle lying
between the filament and a line connecting
the filament to the point P at which the field is
desired; also, the magnitude of the field is
inversely proportional to the square of the
distance from the filament to the point P. The
constant of proportionality is 1/4
Biot-Savart = Ampere’s law for the current element.

The magnitude of the
field is not a function
of phi or z and it
varies inversely
proportional as the
distance from the
filament.
The direction is of the
magnetic field
intensity vector is
circumferential.

Ampere’s Circuital 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.
10. 10
Ampere’s Circuital Law
Ampere’s Circuital Law states that the line integral of H about any closed
path is exactly equal to the direct current enclosed by the path.
We define positive current as flowing in the direction of the advance of a
right-handed screw turned in the direction in which the closed path is
traversed.
