Magnetostatics
To study magnetostatics (steady magnetic field) in free space or in
non-magnetic material we need only consider the magnetic flux density
vector, B. The two fundamental postulates of magnetostatics that specify the
divergence and the curl of B in nonmagnetic media are

where the surface integral is carried out over the bounding surface of an
arbitrary volume. Comparison of Eq. (5-9) with Eq. (3-6) leads us to conclude
that there is no magnetic analogue for electric charges. There are no magnetic
flow sources, and the magnetic flux lines always close upon themselves. Eq,
(5-9) is also referred to as an expression for the law of conservation of
magnetic flux because it states that the total outward magnetic flux through

any closed surface is zero.

The integral form of the curl relation in Eq. (5-7) can be obtained by integrating
both ideas over an open surface and applying Stokes's theorem. We have:

where the path C for the line integral is the contour bounding the surface S,
and I is the total current through S.
The sense of tracing C and the direction of current flow follow the right-hand
rule.

Eq. (5-10) is a derived relation from the curl postulate for B.

It is a form of Ampere's circuital law, which state that the circulation of the
magnetic flux density in a nonmagnetic medium around any closed path is
equal to µ0 times the total current flowing through the surface bounded by
the path.

Ampere's circuital law is very useful in determining the magnetic flux density B
caused by a current I when there is a closed path C around the current such
that the magnitude of B is constant over the path.
