By Ampere’s Law in the absence of any time varying electric fields, the magnitude of the magnetic field pointing around the circle is
since 2π x 1m is the circumference of the imaginary circle. Now suppose that we place a second wire 1 meter away from the first and parallel to it, and run the same current I through it. We recall that the current in the wire is the product of the velocity v of the moving charges which make up the current and the density of the moving carriers, which we shall write , so
