Ampere’s Law
• Ampère's circuital law (discovered by André-
Marie Ampère in 1826) relates the integrated
magnetic field around a closed loop to the
electric current passing through the loop.

Faraday’s Law
• Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of
electromagnetism relating to the operating principles
of transformers, inductors, electrical motors and
generators. The law states that:
“The induced electromotive force (EMF) in any closed
circuit is proportional to the rate of change of the
magnetic flux through that circuit”
