Question

Ampere's Circuital Law is the magnetic analogue of which law in electrostatics?

Options

• Faraday's Law

• Coulomb's Law

• Gauss's Law

• Ohm's Law

Answer 1

Just as Gauss's Law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the enclosed charge, Ampere's Circuital Law relates the line integral of \[\vec{B}\] around a closed loop to the net current enclosed by the loop. Both exploit symmetry to simplify field calculations.
