Amperes Law











What is it?

Ampere's Law states that when current is flowing through a circuit it produces a magnetic field of a strength directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the circuit

Give me an example!

If you had a circuit with 30 Amperes of current flowing through it, it would produce a magnetic field of a certain magnitude (let's call it "X"). If you doubled the number of Amps to 60, you would also increase the power of the magnetic field to 2X.
