Magnetostatics
Magnetostatics is the branch of electromagnetics
dealing with the effects of electric charges in
steady motion (i.e, steady current or DC).
The fundamental law of magnetostatics is
Ampere’s law of force.
Ampere’s law of force is analogous to Coulomb’s
law in electrostatics.

Ampere’s Law of Force
Ampere’s law of force is the “law of action”
between current carrying circuits.
Ampere’s law of force gives the magnetic
force between two current carrying circuits in
an otherwise empty universe.
Ampere’s law of force involves complete
circuits since current must flow in closed
loops.

Magnetic Flux Density
Ampere’s force law describes an “action at a
distance” analogous to Coulomb’s law.
In Coulomb’s law, it was useful to introduce
the concept of an electric field to describe the
interaction between the charges.
In Ampere’s law, we can define an appropriate
field that may be regarded as the means by
which currents exert force on each other.

If a point charge is moving in a region where both
electric and magnetic fields exist, then it
experiences a total force given by

electromagnetic deflection systems such as CRTs.

Types of Current Distributions
Line current density (current) - occurs for
infinitesimally thin filamentary bodies (i.e.,
wires of negligible diameter).

width) - occurs when body is perfectly
conducting.
Volume current density (current per unit
cross sectional area) - most general.

Ampere’s Circuital Law in

Ampere’s Law and Gauss’s Law
Just as Gauss’s law follows from Coulomb’s
law, so Ampere’s circuital law follows from
Ampere’s force law.
Just as Gauss’s law can be used to derive the
electrostatic field from symmetric charge
distributions, so Ampere’s law can be used to
derive the magnetostatic field from symmetric
current distributions.

Applications of Ampere’s Law

In general, solutions to integral equations
must be obtained using numerical

Applications of Ampere’s Law
(Cont’d)
Closed form solution to Ampere’s law
relies on our ability to construct a suitable
family of Amperian paths.
An Amperian path is a closed contour to
which the magnetic flux density is
tangential and over which equal to a

Vector Magnetic Potential
(Cont’d)
In classical physics, the vector magnetic
potential is viewed as an auxiliary
function with no physical meaning.
However, there are phenomena in
quantum mechanics that suggest that the
vector magnetic potential is a real (i.e.,
measurable) field.

Magnetic Dipole
A magnetic dipole comprises a small
current carrying loop.
The point charge (charge monopole) is the
simplest source of electrostatic field. The
magnetic dipole is the simplest source of
magnetostatic field. There is no such thing
as a magnetic monopole (at least as far as
classical physics is concerned).

Magnetic Dipole (Cont’d)
The magnetic dipole is analogous to the

dielectric materials, so the magnetic dipole
is useful in helping us to understand the
