Solution
- Consider a long straight wire carrying a current I as shown in the figure below.

A long straight current-carrying wire
`vec"B"` and `vec"d""l"` are tangential to the Amperian loop which in this case is a circle.
∴ `vec"B"` . `vec"d""l" = "B dl"`
= B r dθ - The field `vec"B"` at a distance r from the wire is given by
B = `mu_0/(2pi) "I"/"r"`
∴ `oint_"c" vec"B".vec"d""l" = int_0^(2pi) (mu_0 "I")/(2pi "r") "r d" theta = mu_0 "I"`
