What does Ampère’s Law relate in a closed loop around a current-carrying conductor?

Question 2

Which equation is the standard form of Ampère’s Law for steady currents?

Question 3

For a long straight wire carrying current, what is the shape of the magnetic field lines around the wire?

Question 4

A circular Amperian loop encloses no current. What is the value of $\oint \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{l}$ for that loop in the steady-current case?

Question 5
